The one that cracked me up was "Pay The Devil" his foray into American country music of a few years back. To say that he clearly did not understand the idiom is not enough; at times it seemed that he did not even understand the words. Makes one get it when they say that America and the UK are divided by a common language.
Van Morrison "Duets"
I just purchased this album and can say that this is the first album I have received in a year or so that does not have any problems with surface noise, dishes or warps. The over all engineering is good to very good and coupled with quiet vinyl and decent remakes of his back catalog is an enjoyable listen.
The mix at times it a bit out of sorts but that is coming from a recording engineer's ears and you may or may not agree. However, I think for Van fans you are in for a treat. What you get is good performances, good engineering and a very clean and quiet pressing. Something that is not too common today. Also, you get 2 albums for around $20.00. Yes, they are shorter sides but that can increase the quality of the pressing.
