Collection playthrough #689

Van Morrison & The Chieftains - Irish Heartbeat
Mercury (1988)

Sure, Van’s a POS these days, but he did make 3 of my favorite albums (Astral Weeks and Veedon Fleece are the other two).

Does your sleeve open on the top, as opposed to on the right side of the cover...with the spine being at the bottom of the image? Mine does...haven't opened it yet, but wondering if this was by design or some kind of mistake at printing?

I had that question too because mine is the same.

Funny how Van the Man looks like the only one who is cold? Poser??
Great album, by the way.

Happy birthday James Honeyman-Scott.

Pretenders left a trail of scorched earth as a live band from '79 - '81.

That's the design of the 1973 release. Neil stayed true to the original.

I figured as much, but thanks for the confirmation.

Haha, yeah. If you were to point to this cover and say “who’s probably an asshole here?” I’m pretty sure most people would pick Van. Just has that look that’s something’s unnecessarily bothering him when everyone else is perfectly content.
