Folk / R 'n B
His Band and the Street Choir is the fourth solo album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released on 15 November, 1970 (see 1970 in music) by Warner Bros. Records. The album was originally to be called Virgo's Fool, but for the album's release the name was changed. Recording began in spring 1970 at the A&R Studios in New York, and ended in the summer of the same year. The songs have a free, relaxed sound to them, whilst the simple lyrics lack the level of poetry expected in Morrison's songs. The songs were intended to be recorded a cappella (with only vocal backing) by the group Morrison billed as the Street Choir. However the five songs released on the album that included the choir also featured a backing band as well. These changes, among others, in the production of
His Band and the Street Choir have lead Morrison to think little of the album in later years, despite it charting well and receiving good reviews at the time of its release.
Upon its release in America,
His Band and the Street Choir was as well received as Morrison's previous album
Moondance, and charted at #32 on the Billboard charts. The album also charted at #18 on the UK Album Chart. A major reason for
His Band and the Street Choir's success was the lead single "Domino", which reached the US Top Ten, passing the position reached by Morrison's previous hit, "Brown Eyed Girl". It became the highest charting single of Morrison's solo career. Two other singles from the album were produced, "Blue Money" and "Call Me Up in Dreamland". Although they were less successful, they both managed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Info
Originally grabbed from torrent - thanks to the original uploader and all seeders.
The EAC log shows that the audio cache was unfortunately not defeated for this rip, so the logged quality of "100%" for every track is meaningless. Nevertheless, the sound of this rip of the Japanese 2008 Remaster is truly excellent.
There are unfortunately no scans included, but Google images will give some results.
I´ll have a pint when listening - to your health, Lez!
