A musician’s musician whose work defies easy categorization, Morrison has spent six decades weaving together Celtic soul, R\u0026amp;B, jazz, blues, gospel, and mystical poetry into a body of work that stands apart from virtually everything else in the rock canon. His 1968 album \u003cem\u003eAstral Weeks\u003c\/em\u003e is widely regarded as one of the greatest records ever made, and his run of albums through the 1970s — including \u003cem\u003eMoondance\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTupelo Honey\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eVeedon Fleece\u003c\/em\u003e — cemented his reputation as an artist of rare depth and spiritual intensity. By the late 1970s, Morrison had entered a more accessible phase without sacrificing the soulful authenticity that defines his best work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Album\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWavelength\u003c\/em\u003e was released in October 1978 on Warner Bros. Records and marked a deliberate shift toward a warmer, more radio-friendly sound — one that brought Morrison his strongest commercial showing in years without compromising the emotional core of his music. Produced by Morrison himself alongside Ted Templeman — the Warner Bros. staff producer known for his work with the Doobie Brothers and Van Halen — the album has a polished, keyboard-driven sound that feels both of its era and timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album reached #28 on the Billboard 200 and #27 on the UK Albums Chart — his strongest chart showing in years — and is regarded by fans as an underappreciated gem in a catalogue full of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecord Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis copy has been \u003cstrong\u003ecarefully cleaned with a Spin-Clean record washer\u003c\/strong\u003e and stored in a \u003cstrong\u003enew inner plastic sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e.
