Van Morrison, the working man's hero

If you didn't know already, Van Morrison started on Bang records. He signed a contract for so many albums. He wanted out, so he fulfilled his contract. There was nothing in the contract that said the songs had to be marketable. He made two albums in mostly one sitting, jangling and muttering as the tape rolled. WFMU has this page of these two albums.
Please to yourself a favor and at least listen to 'Want A Danish'
'Ring Worm' and maybe 'Chicken Coo'

Van screwed the man good.
