Moondance

• Track Listing

Beautiful, spiritual and soulful, Moondance (’70) blended the textures of folk with jazz and R&B to create the solo breakthrough Van Morrison was destined to have. It still transfixes (have you listened to it lately?), and it’s been newly remastered to sound the best it ever has: the Top 40 hit Come Running; the magical title song; Into the Mystic; Caravan; And It Stoned Me; Crazy Love, and more. Step up to the expanded edition to hear 11 previously unreleased bonus tracks: alternate takes of Moondance; Caravan; Into the Mystic, and Brand New Day; alternate versions of Glad Tidings and These Dreams of You, and more—including (drum roll, please) a Morrison original, I Shall Sing, that was left off the original release. But why not shoot for the moon and go deluxe?; its 4 CDs contain all that plus a wealth of other alternate takes, early takes of I’ve Been Working (which would appear in much different form on His Band and the Street Choir), studio outtakes (including Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out) and more—a whopping 50 unreleased bonus tracks in all. The deluxe edition is topped off with a Blu-Ray disc featuring high-resolution stereo and surround mixes of Moondance, the early masterpiece of this hall-of-fame rock ’n’ roll maverick! Warner Bros.
