COMMENT : In the fall of 1969, Van Morrison entered the studio to record MOONDANCE, the album that would
soon become his commercial breakthrough and one of the most beloved recordings of all time.
Fans now have the rare opportunity to experience this classic album like never before with the
newly remastered and expanded version featuring 50 unreleased tracks including studio outtakes
of favorites like "e;Caravan, "e;Moondance"e; and "e;Into The Mystic,"e; plus multiple takes and a final
mix of the unheard track "e;I Shall Sing."e;
The Deluxe Edition includes 4 CDs/1 Blu-Ray Audio with newly remastered version of the original
album, three discs of previously unreleased music from the sessions, a Blu-Ray Audio disc with
high-resolution 48K 24 bit PCM stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound audio of original
album (no video). The package is presented in a linen-wrapped folio and includes a booklet with liner
notes from Alan Light and original engineer Elliot Scheiner.
The Deluxe Edition unearths an amazing trove of unreleased gems that take the listener right alongside
Morrison and his band in studio. There are multiple, often lengthy, takes from the recording sessions
of nearly every track found on the 1970 original, including "e;Glad Tidings,"e; "e;Brand New Day"e; and
"e;Come Running."e; There are also early takes of "e;I've Been Working,"e; a song that would appear later that
year on His Band And The Street Choir. The early version included here is quite different from the
official album version. The Deluxe Edition also includes a Blu-Ray audio disc with high-resolution stereo
and surround mixes of the original album, mixed by original engineer Elliot Scheiner, who also oversaw the
new re-mastering of the album.
One of the most significant revelations is "e;I Shall Sing,"e; a Morrison original that was completed but left
off the album. There are multiple takes of the song (spread across six tracks), plus a final mix of the
finished song. While no one has heard Morrison's version, Art Garfunkel had a Top 40 hit with the song, which
appeared on his 1973 solo debut.
