    Did anyone ever hear this?!

    Full story behind it is:
    In order to fulfill his obligation to his early solo label Bang Records,Van Morrison sat down in 1967 or so and cranked out 31 songs on the spot, on topics ranging from ringworm to wanting a danish, to hating his record label and a guy named George.

    Heard a couple of them today online - hilarious! :D

    What makes it funnier is he did it as a complete F.U to his label before he signed to Warner but some of songs from the album actually made 'Best Of' compilations of his in Europe!

    Tracklisting below (absolutely genuine!):
    • Twist and Shake
    • Shake and Roll
    • Stomp and Scream
    • Scream and Holler
    • Jump and Thump
    • Drivin' Wheel
    • Just Ball
    • Shake it Mable
    • Hold On George
    • The Big Royalty Check
    • Ring Worm
    • Savoy Hollywood
    • Freaky If You Got This Far
    • Up Your Mind
    • Thirty Two
    • All The Bits
    • You Say France and I Whistle
    • Blow In Your Nose
    • Nose In Your Blow
    • La Mambo
    • Go For Yourself
    • Want A Danish
    • Here Comes Dumb George
    • Chicken Coo
    • Do It
    • Hang On Groovy
    • Goodbye George
    • Dum Dum George
    • Walk And Talk
    • The Wobble
