Van Morrison Keep Me Singing Lenticular Edition Uncut Proof Sheet 2016
This is NOT the full album or even the album sleeve. This is something better.
This is an uncut printed sheet of two Lenticular album cover sheets from 2016. Uncut Printed two up - two together - on one sheet.  Printed by PACUR in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
It has all the color matching circles (aka Color Bars or Color Control Strips) on the edges along with the crop marks (aka trim marks) that would have been used to cut the sheet. There are targets - actually Registration Marks - used to align the printing plates.
This sheet was likely pulled off the printer during production and taken home as a souvenir, a Van Morrison fan or just someone who like Lenticular images.
The sheet measures about 28 inches x 20 inches. 
The coolest thing are the printing info along the edges, some of which is printed with the art and other which is imaged on at the time of printing:

Morrison made his first recording playing saxophone on "Boozoo Hully Gully" with the International Monarchs in 1962. His first recording session as lead singer/songwriter with Them was produced by Dick Rowe at Decca's studio. "Don't Start Crying Now" was the first single released and the garage rock classic, "Gloria" was also recorded at this session.  "Baby, Please Don't Go" (recorded October 1964) was released November 1964 with "Gloria" as the B-side and was a Top Ten hit in the UK Singles Chart. "Here Comes the Night" was Them's second hit in 1965, charting at No. 2 in the UK and No. 24 in the US.

Morrison had his first recording session as a solo artist for Bang Records in New York City for Bert Berns on 28 March 1967. One of the songs was "Brown Eyed Girl", which charted at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. By April 2008, he had been on the Billboard album chart a total of 787 weeks.

The Keep Me Signing album was released on September 30, 2016, by the Caroline/Exile Label. It pealed at number 4 on the UK album chart and 9 on the US album chart – he’s most successful album!

Keep Me Singing is the 36th studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released on 30 September 2016 by Caroline Records. It is Morrison's highest-charting album in the US, and third US Top 10 album, following the success of Keep It Simple (2008) and Born to Sing: No Plan B (2012).

Keep Me Singing received generally positive reviews from music critics, with Metacritic giving the album an average score of 74 / 100 based on ten reviews. Rolling Stone found that "through arrangements elegant to a fault, his mercurial tenor, more supple and restrained, remains a marvel", with his delivery at times being "full of chortles, snarls and gospel-tinged hollers." Hot Press wrote that Morrison's "voice is as strong and expressive as ever, while the songs are a mix of familiar-sounding, soulful ballads and mid-tempo jazz-influenced tunes." His "liquid-smooth voice" is "just as soulful as ever", wrote PopMatters, finding that Morrison "draws on a variety of vocal traditions from Celtic folk to contemporary jazz", and combines them "through the sheer force of his being." Consequence concluded that "[there] are very few constants in life, but another warm record from Van the Man seems par for the course", but noted that it was "pierced with a severe, self-reflective melancholy".
