Playlist: The Very Best of Van Morrison features 14 tracks defined on the back jacket as "the life-changing songs, the out-of-print tracks, the hits, the fan favorites everyone loves, and the songs that make the artists who they are." Listeners looking for a semi-comprehensive selection of the highly prolific Irish singer/songwriter's music will find this collection of tracks from his 1967 solo debut
Blowin' Your Mind! and 1968 follow-up
Astral Weeks enjoyable, although both records (
