Van's Best 
It will take some time but Veedon Fleece will make it to the top ten albums of all time. The more time passes from its release and the more it seems relevant and timeless. I have been listening to Van all my adult life since I was 15 in 1975, and finally if I needed to choose one Van album I wouldnt hesitate to choose this one. It won't get you inmediate pleasure , this cd needs many repeated listening until you get it, but once you get into it you'll find new insights each time you listen to it again.... more info

Sheer magnificence! It doesn't get any better than this.... 
Although certainly a very large statement given Van's incredible body of work, this could- in my opinion, very well be his finest moment. The sheer power and beauty of his vocals is sonic perfection to these ears. The instrumentation is wonderful and the songs rank among his best. Get it, now! You certainly won't regret it! I personally recommend the Japanese mini-lp version, played loudly and often. You Don't Pull No Punches- Indeed!!

Well, I think it is his best Album. I loved this album so much I felt guilty for having received it for free and actually purchased Fair Play from... more info

connoisseur van? 
How many indispensable recordings can one guy release in a spectacular career? Enough for something important to get lost in the shuffle? Well, not for fellow musicians and the knowledgeable fans who have apparently treasured Veedon Fleece as a pinnacle of caledonio soul. (I read somewhere that Sinead O'Connor listens to it before each of her performances.) But feeling satiated by Astral Weeks, Moondance, St. Dominic's, Too Late to Stop, Into the Music, etc., somehow I apparently didn't give the original... more info
