Now here's a treat . . . . . .Van Morrison demos from 1968 -71










from the wonderful Midnight Cafe which is where I like to sit and spend time over a cup of Joe and listen to the music . . . . . . this is a gem and early demos of Astral Weeks through to Moondance, Tupelo Honey and His band etc and several unissued tracks all with just Van a guitar and presumably Janet Planet on backing vocals as can be distinctly heard on tracks like 'It Stoned Me'
Really fascinating document and worth a listen for an artist in progress of becoming inter stellar!
