Bang Masters - Brown Eyed Girl

jBoZ

Anyone having trouble finding the original, non-censored version of the Van Morrison song Brown Eyed Girl, this is the one you want. I only mention this because there are several “doctored” versions available on Morrison albums and after much searching I had to download this one on faith, great relief to hear the “makin’ love in the green grass” lyric. –=Peace=-

3 Stars? No way!

I was about to download "Blowin' Your Mind" when I decided to check out Bang Masters, even tho it had only 3 stars. Well, this album is a killer deal... lots of excellent free tracks and it includes everything that's good on the other album. Must have for people interested in the great Van. Just gave it a listen after downloading. Great, great album. "He Ain't Give You None" just blows me away, but there is plenty of other good stuff.

They Say All Media Guide

During the period between his departure from Them and his masterpiece Astral Weeks, Van Morrison tenured with Bert Berns’ Bang label, notching his biggest solo hit with the classic single “Brown Eyed Girl” and laying the groundwork for the transcendent material to follow. The Bang Masters compiles the best of his recordings for the label, and although a good part of it is negligible in comparison to Morrison’s greatest work, it’s still necessary listening for fans. The remarkable “T.B. Sheets” captures Morrison at his most emotionally shattering, while early attempts at “Beside You” and “Madame George” hint at the genius just around the corner. – Jason Ankeny
