The mere mention of Van Morrison’s name can spark a healthy debate as to which of his many albums is the most influential. Among the many that will undoubtedly be mentioned, I’m sure that Moondance would figure strongly in the discussion.
Warner Brothers Records has just released a re-mastered version of the legendary album. Even better, it is accompanied by a plethora of bonus material. The set features numerous alternate versions of the songs that ultimately made the album, including several extended jams that showcase the band exploring the songs. The extras provide some fascinating insight into the recording process.
