T.B. Sheets Review

07/13/2005 4:00 AM, AMG


Another re-packaging of Bang Records material issued without Van Morrison's approval, this album focuses on Morrison's longer, more ambitious songs, such as the title cut, and is notable for including early versions of "Beside You" and "Madame George," songs that later turned up on Astral Weeks. (Reissued on CD in 1990 by Columbia Records [LCK 46093], T.B. Sheets was superseded by Bang Masters, which contains all of its tracks except "He Ain't Give You None," presented in an alternate take, plus Morrison's other recordings for Bang, in 1991.) ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
