Blowin' Your Mind!, Van Morrison's first solo album, came out on Bang Records in 1967, cut over two days in late March that year. The Belfast singer had already hollered his way through "Gloria" as the frontman of the R&B outfit Them; now he was out on his own under the wing of Bert Berns, who had his eye firmly on the pop charts.
The prize was "Brown Eyed Girl", his first solo pop hit, a sunny, strutting slice of pop-soul with that voice leaping all over it. It turned out to be a short chapter: after Berns died, Warner Bros. took over Morrison's contract, and Astral Weeks followed in 1968. This one has since been counted among the essential albums of 1967.
