Release Notes:
Manhattan/EMI Music Catalog Marketing will release
The Best of Van Morrison, Volume 3 on June 19. The
new 2-CD collection, compiled by Morrison himself,
offers a comprehensive overview of his later
material. The set's 31 tracks include previously
unreleased collaborations with Tom Jones and Bobby
Bland, as well as duets with John Lee Hooker, B.B.
King and Ray Charles.
It's now been more than four decades since Van
Morrison left his native Belfast to embark on a
career as a professional musician. And while there
will be a number of people buying this third volume
of highlights from that career who remember the days
of Them, and others who picked up the story with
legendary late 1960s/early 1970s albums like Astral
Weeks and Moondance, there is yet another generation
that tuned in during the 1980s.
The first Best of Van Morrison made the UK Top 5,
proof that his fan base was still expanding after a
quarter of a century at the cutting edge of music.
And the reason is clear. Live shows are no 'greatest
hits' parades but have always incorporated healthy
amounts of new music, and the public has responded
by buying tickets and albums in ever-increasing
numbers. The 1990s would prove to be a fruitful and
prolific period in Morrison's history, with a
release round about every year taking his original
recordings total past the 30 mark by the middle of
the following decade.
All of which means the people who purchase this
double album will differ widely in their knowledge
of the man's back catalogue. Some of the songs here
will be familiar -- even if not in these exact
versions -- while others will have escaped all but
the most ardent Van-ologist. What's certain is that
it's a hand-picked selection with something for
everyone whose life has been touched by Morrison's
music.
