* RiddleForTheAges: John Payne, who'd been part of Morrison's ensemble in Boston, plays flute (sand saxophone) for most of the album, but another player appears on "Beside You" and "Cyprus Avenue", the first two songs recorded, before Payne talked producer Lewis Merenstein into letting him take over. However, none of the documentation for the session establishes who the other flutist was, leaving their identity lost to history.

* ConceptAlbum: The lyrics suggest that the songs are illustrating some kind of loose storyline about a young man in Belfast, strengthened by the "In the Beginning" and "Afterwards" labels for the two halves. Morrison has sort of confirmed this, but also says that the songs ended up out of sequence on the album.

* SpiritualSuccessor: 1974's ''Veedon Fleece'' is usually considered one to this album, with Morrison going back to mixing contemplative lyrics with an Irish-infused folk-jazz mix, after a few albums of more uptempo {{Soul}}-inspired work.

* LastNoteNightmare: "Slim Slow Slider" ends the album with some frantic, discordant sax lines, which, coupled with the final verse being about how "I know you're dyin', baby", gives the album a SuddenDownerEnding.
