Common One is the twelfth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1980. The album was recorded over a nine-day period at Super Bear Studios, near Nice, on the French Riviera. Its title is in the lyrics of the song "Summertime in England": "Oh, my common one with the coat so old and the light in her head". The 2008 re-issued and re-mastered version of the album contains alternate takes of "Haunts of Ancient Peace" and "When Heart Is Open". Apart from polarising critics on its initial release, Common One has been cited by Morrison himself as his favourite of his own albums. (Wikipedia)
