Product Description
CD Description
This two-disc set of previously unreleased material has been whispered about in the world of Van fans for ages, and it languished on the Polydor release schedule for so long that it became a running joke before it was finally released. It turned out to be worth the wait. These cuts, mostly from the'70s, are Van at his funkiest and most soulful, preaching the blues and digging deep into his heart to deliver the goods. Listening to these thirty tunes, one has difficulty wondering how Morrison could have decided against initially releasing them.
"Naked In the Jungle" is a funky, percolating workout on par with his classic "I've Been Workin'". "Not Supposed To Break Down" is a touching ballad that pulls unsentimentally at the heartstrings in the manner of MOONDANCE's "Crazy Love". On "Foggy Mountaintop" we find the usually-earnest bard in a playful mood, as he glides atop a 12-bar blues, professing his heartfelt desire for "a plain glass of water, vanilla ice cream with a cherry on top". Covering all phases of facets of Van's career, PHILOSOPHER'S STONE is a revelation that ranks among his finest albums.
