Like this year's well - received 'Moving On Skiffle', Van Morrison revisits one of his childhood loves in 'Accentuate The Positive': rock 'n' roll. Growing up in Belfast after World War II, he was deeply influenced by 20th - century blues and rock 'n' roll. Artists like Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and The Everly Brothers inspired him, and he soon started reinterpreting these sounds with his local band. Decades later, Van Morrison revisits the genre, reimagining his favorite songs for 'Accentuate The Positive'. He infuses these timeless tunes with fresh energy, challenging and expanding on the traditions. His unique voice, combined with great arrangements, brings new life to classic songs like The Johnny Burnette Trio's 'Lonesome Train', Johnny Kidd & The Pirates' 'Shakin' All Over', and Big Joe Turner's 'Flip, Flop and Fly'. The album features electric guitar from the late Jeff Beck and vocals from Chris Farlowe on 'Lonesome Train'. Taj Mahal plays guitar on 'Lucille' and 'Shake, Rattle and Roll'. The album tracklist includes 'You Are My Sunshine', 'When Will I Be Loved', and many other great songs across four sides.

Using this Van Morrison vinyl album is easy. Just place the record gently on your turntable, lower the tonearm carefully, and enjoy the music.

Store the record in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will prevent warping and damage to the vinyl. If the record gets dirty, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can scratch the vinyl and affect the sound.
