WMN RELEASE: VAN MORRISSON
Artist: Van Morrison
Title: Moondance Expanded
Release: 1 December
A perennial favorite, MOONDANCE is often regarded as one of the best albums of all time. Ten years ago, the deluxe edition of the record was released to wide acclaim, with critics and fans basking in the context provided by previously unreleased songs from the recording session. This one extends that look behind the curtain into the “making of” a masterpiece. The RIAA-platinum certified classic was written and composed by Van Morrison himself, and is often credited with ushering in the “soft rock” era. Hits from the collection include “Come Running,” “Into the Mystic,” “Crazy Love,” and of course, the title track “Moondance.”
