A Period of Transition
''A Period of Transition'' is the ninth studio album by Northern Irish singer/songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1977 (see 1977 in music). It was his first album in two and a half years, largely forgotten or overlooked by most casual fans. At the time of its release it was received with some disappointment by critics and fans: "Most were hoping for a work of primeval vocal aggression that would challenge the emerging élite of Morrison pretenders, whose ranks included Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Phil Lynott, Graham Parker and Elvis Costello."〔Rogan. ''No Surrender'', p.309〕(Johnny Rogan) However, the album is still notable for several major compositions, including "Heavy Connection," "Flamingos Fly," "The Eternal Kansas City" and "Cold Wind in August".
Morrison had appeared in ''The Last Waltz'' with Mac Rebennack (Dr. John) who was a co-producer on this album as well as playing keyboards and guitar.

Clinton Heylin remarks on "Flamingos Fly" and "Joyous Sound": "Just seven songs were recorded (''A Period of Transition'' ) and two of these had already been cut at the Record Plant back in 1975."〔Heylin. ''Can You Feel the Silence?'', p.317〕 Both of these versions were included on the 1998 compilation album, ''The Philosopher's Stone''. "Flamingos Fly" was also recorded in 1973 with Jackie DeShannon and appeared on her album ''Jackie... Plus'', along with three other original Morrison compositions from that recording session. It didn't take Morrison long to play the song in concert — a week after the recording session on 18 April 1973, the song featured in a concert in Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium. This performance remains the only known live version of the song.
