Listening to it now. It's absolutely impossible to rank the tracks here, they are all great and within the context of the album even greater.


Yes, it's a tough one. For me, it is probably:

1. Cypress Avenue/Beside You
2. Beside You/Cypress Avenue
3. Astral Weeks
4. Madame George
5. Ballerina
6. Slim Slow Slider
7. Sweet Thing/The Way Young Lovers Do
8. The Way Young Lovers Do/Sweet Thing

Yes! Another Cyprus Avenue lover.

Although I'm confused with 1 and 2? Are you saying they are a tie or am I missing a transition (don't think so, but all I can think of).

Ohhhhh, you haven't heard the special edition from 1967 yet, the one that was released to some friends by Morrison, but not the label and contains slightly differing track transitions than the 1968 release? Liar

Just kidding about that special edition of course ... The slash --> "/" (technical term is "virgule") means "and" or "or" in this usage. So all I mean is that either Cypress Avenue or Beside You could be #1, leaving the other for #2. I might lean slightly towards Cypress Ave for #1, hence it's listed there before Beside You. In other words, leaning slightly to Cypress Avenue #1 (but possibly Beside You instead), and Beside You #2 (but if Beside You is actually #1 then that leaves #2 for Cypress Avenue). Same story with #7 and #8.

Hehe - ok sorry. Leave it up to me to complicate. I figured it was a tie but somehow my brain was curious of the exact thing you were joking about.

Forgiveness hath been granted thee. For one more day at least, thou hast evaded thy guillotine.
