Van Morrison: Hard Nose The Highway (Warner Bros.)
Wayne Robins, Zoo World, 11 January 1973
I KEEP HAVING this dream wish fulfillment, for the Freudians out in Zoo World where the mailman rings the bell, and tells me it's all a mistake. He's got the real Van Morrison album. The one I've gnashed my teeth over for the last few weeks, Hard Nose The Highway, was just a prank.
