Notes
Issued on green WB labels, in gatefold jacket with no fabrication code printed inside bottom right.
"S" etched in runouts denotes Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Santa Maria, pressing. Remainder of runouts etched, some copies may have mirrored plating letters.
Runout variant to Moondance, with otherwise unidentified "Ⴔ" symbol.
On this pressing (and all first pressings, whether W7 or WB logo) is featured a mix of track A5 in which Van Morrison can be heard playing tambourine. This mix was apparently Van's preferred mix, but due to a clerical error, all subsequent pressings (except a much later audiophile pressing) use a rejected version omitting the tambourine.
Catalog number 1835 on jacket.
Catalog number WS 1835 on labels.

Not much else to say about the music, this an acknowledged classic 'must-have' album for good reason, and this is an excellent original pressing with tremendous warmth and richness to the soundstage. My copy is in great condition, with virtually no surface noise.
I've read that newer reissues have more bass in the mix, but there's plenty here already. Honestly, some of the other reviews here sound like they're written by a bunch of entitled nincompoops. Do people realize that there is only one master tape? Do people consider the fact that these master tapes are getting old? Do people understand that every time you use the master tape for any reason, you're degrading it? There is nothing wrong with hi-res files, people. And your own ears probably can't even tell the difference, you're just going by what you read (or misread), not what you hear (or misheard). Just enjoy the damn music and be glad it exists.
