2008 newly remastered sound and expanded packaging including lyrics of the 1974 album Veedon Fleece the eighth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. The cover photograph picturing Morrison with two Irish Wolfhounds was taken at the Sutton House Hotel, a converted mansion overlooking Dublin Bay, where Morrison first stayed upon arriving in Ireland for a vacation. The opening track, "Fair Play" derived its name from Morrison's Irish friend, Donall Corvin's habit of using the Irish colloquialism "fair play to you" as a wry compliment.

If Van Morrison were Falco this would be 'Rock Me Amadeus'.
I am with the other reviewer who happened upon this album. I wore out Astral Weeks and St. Domnic Preview. I wasn't as into His Band... and Hard Nose... and Tupelo... I tried and couldn't; without pursuing Veedon I grouped it with the latter albums. And then I got the mp3s for Veedon for free and was so happy. I think it is a better album than Astral Weeks. Well, I think it is his best Album. I loved this album so much I felt guilty for having received it for free and actually purchased Fair Play from iTunes. I would have purchased the rest but I suspected that this remastered edition would be coming. It is worth it, the sound quality is much better and the bonus tracks are interesting enough to integrate them into the listening experience of Veedon Fleece. After this album I prefer (though I would say it is next in quality) Irish Heartbeat and can't wait to see what bonus tracks are made available - I assume it won't be what was offered on Philosopher's Stone. A song with a vocal track by either Kevin or Van would make me so happy.

connoisseur van?
How many indispensable recordings can one guy release in a spectacular career? Enough for something important to get lost in the shuffle? Well, not for fellow musicians and the knowledgeable fans who have apparently treasured Veedon Fleece as a pinnacle of caledonio soul. (I read somewhere that Sinead O'Connor listens to it before each of her performances.) But feeling satiated by Astral Weeks, Moondance, St. Dominic's, Too Late to Stop, Into the Music, etc., somehow I apparently didn't give the original Veedon lp near the attention it deserved.
Fortunate really, cause with all the remastering being done these days it's actually a relief to be able to acquire a cd that I haven't long ago purchased before the sonic clarity and bonus tracks. Also, what a hell of a great album to finally get into. The Man is so deep into his emotions here that the music truly cuts to the bone. What a great excuse to get back into the mystic.
