The first full-scale biography, surprisingly, of one of rock music's giant figures. Van Morrison is an enigmatic figure who has created some of the century's most beautiful popular music, but also has a reputation for paranoia, heavy drinking and aggression. Based on hundreds of original interviews, Heylin tells the story of his life from his upbringing in Protestant Belfast through hard times in 60s London, to the recording of the seminal album Astral Weeks,marriage and divorce in the States, and then the superstardom that is his today. This is a groundbreaking, frank biography of a truly enigmatic genius.

First Edition. ------------( 1st printing of the First Edition ) hard cover, a Near Fine example, in a lightly rubbed Near Fine dustjacket,560 pages, b&w photographs, ---"This groundbreaking biography of a brilliant but disturbed performer explores the paradox of the man and the artist. Based on more than 100 interviews, this intelligent profile explores Morrison's roots; the hard times he went through in London, New York, and Boston; the making of his seminal albums Moondance and Astral Weeks; and the disastrous business arrangements that left Morrison hungry and penniless while his songs were topping the charts. Detailed are the breakdown of Morrison's marriage, the creative drought that followed, and his triumphant reemergence. In addition, this biography attempts to explain the forbidding aspects of Morrison's persona, such as paranoia, hard drinking, misanthropy, as well as why, in the words of his one-time singing partner Linda Gail Lewis, Morrison's music "brings happiness to other people, not him." Also included is a Van Morrision sessionography that spans 1964 to 2001"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch )--- Size: 6.25w x 9.5h Inches.
