The Early Recording Sessions and the Creation of 'Brown-eyed Girl'

This chapter discusses how Van Morrison's songs were initially intended to be performed by just him and his guitar, but when he got into the studio, he was surprised to find a whole group of session players. The chapter goes on to explain that these session players were not fully invested in the songs themselves, but rather focused on adding their individual instrument parts. The chapter also mentions that the first song recorded was 'Brown-eyed Girl', originally titled 'Brown-skinned Girl', and how the producer Bert Burns turned it into a hit single.
