While Astral Weeks and Moondance contemplate the cosmos and love's rich conundrums, Street Choir resonates with a purposefully loose ebullience on songs like the Top Ten hit "Domino," "Blue Money," and "Call Me Up In Dreamland." This remastered version of the album is expanded with five unreleased bonus tracks, including an early, raw take of "Give Me Kiss" without piano, horns or backing vocals. Morrison's impressive falsetto gets a workout on Take 3 of "Gypsy Queen," while the band turns up the funk on the greasy alternate version of "I've Been Working" that's featured here. Review: 12 Good Songs with Extras - When I first purchased my Vinyl copy many moons ago (back in the 70's) the record store owner leaned over the counter & said quietly in my ear "12 good songs - and every one a gem." I smiled politely but the words stuck firmly in my brain. Much later of course I bought a CD copy & now as a celebration we have this New Expanded & Remastered edition. The remastering is excellent - in fact it transports me back through the years & it was almost like hearing it again for the first time but clearer & more intimate. The bonus this time is the five extra tracks all of which are very good & add depth to the overall presence of these recordings. This whole era of Van Morrison was quite something with the mystical & magnificent Astral Weeks & of course Moondance which the Man himself once described as a "Classic". Be that as it may but for me (after all this time) this album "His Band & The Street Choir" is a Stand Out & even better now for the remastering & the extras. Review: This album is very good. Really good - A lot has already been said about Van's albums. I am not here to blaze any new ground. Just want to share my thoughts briefly. This album is very good. Really good. Everyone knows how good Moondance, Astral Weeks and St. Dominic's Preview are. They are all awesome in their own way. So is This album, and yet, it is always considered a tier below the aformentioned LPs. I disagree. Sure, al lot of it is derivative and even playful fun that managed to hit a commercial vein. But is is really good, nonetheless. And a ton of fun. And it is Van. The numbers that are more personal and uniquely Van are easily equal to the best songs on the other albums. I am talking about Funny Face and Street Choir and I'll Be Your Lover, Too. Add a few others if you like. ## Images ![His Band and the Street Choir - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hcEKWO86L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 12 Good Songs with Extras *by A***W on November 1, 2015* When I first purchased my Vinyl copy many moons ago (back in the 70's) the record store owner leaned over the counter & said quietly in my ear "12 good songs - and every one a gem."

Really good *by R***R on November 16, 2017* A lot has already been said about Van's albums. I am not here to blaze any new ground. Just want to share my thoughts briefly. This album is very good. Really good. Everyone knows how good Moondance, Astral Weeks and St. Dominic's Preview are. They are all awesome in their own way.

I will do nothing to combat this. This album's five star rating is justified. Great opening track with "Domino," but it's not the best. "Virgo Clowns" is hauntingly beautiful (pardon the cliche), especially when Dahaud Elias Shaar comes in on his bass clarinet. The next track, "Gypsy Queen," is another R&B winner all the way. I read the _Rolling Stone's_ review of this album, and it was accused of being _too_ perfect--too much goodness on one album, like _Moondance_. That's a good point. Anything else I say would just be repeating everyone else, so just read some reviews, listen to the samples, and make your own decision. Chances are you're predisposed to like Van Morrison if you're already here anyway, which further suggests that you're likely to buy the album, or at least have a struggle of whether or not to pay 13 bucks for it. I'd advise you to take the plunge, but it's up to you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19962365-his-band-and-the-street-choir](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19962365-his-band-and-the-street-choir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
