His Band And The Street Choir (Expanded Edition)

Following ‘Moondance's bre­akthrough success, Van Morrison's 'His Band And The Street Choir’ arrived in November 1970. While ‘Astral Weeks’ and ‘Moondance’ contemplate the cosmos and love's rich conundrums, Street Choir resonates with a purposefully loose ebullience on songs like the Top Ten hit “Domino,” “Blue Money,” and “Call Me Up In Dreamland.” This remastered version of the album is expanded with five unreleased bonus tracks, including an early, raw take of “Give Me Kiss” without piano, horns or backing vocals. Morrison's im­pressive falsetto gets a workout on Take 3 of “Gypsy Queen,” while the band turns up the funk on the greasy alternate version of “I've Been Working” that's featured he­re.
