Lean And Tough.5
You've got to listen to this CD at top volume, in a lonely midnight bar drinking a pint. This is scary music coming out of the Belfast night in 1965 -- lean, hard blues announcing the arrival of a major new talent to the world.

Van's primal howl on songs like "Gloria", "Mystic Eyes", "Turn On Your Love Light" and "(It Won't Hurt) Half As Much" is at its sandpaper best, and the band's music is tough and spare.

Morrison's work with Them is even more incredible when taken in the context of the about-face he pulled about three years later with ASTRAL WEEKS. But if you want to know where it all began, get this CD.

Van Morrison is king5
Odds are if you are reading this you dig Van Morrison. What this album offers is VM doing edgy rock and roll. Every cut is VM sounding like the VM who later became a superstar, except here he is young and really raw (versus studio polished) and with a sharp edge. Some critics contend this album was where the punk movement came from. Either way, it is rare to find album with this much energy and it be a joy to listen to.

The music is great but don't be confused this is not the debut LP but a greatest hits collection
