Van Morrison: in arrivo la raccolta "The Authorized Bang Collection" - TRACKLIST

L'ex Them e poi blasonato artista solista Van Morrison è in procinto di pubblicare la raccolta "The Authorized Bang Collection".

Il triplo CD, in arrivo il prossimo 28 aprile, raccoglie materiale delle session effettuate dall'artista per la Bang Records contestualmente all'incisione del suo album di debutto solista, "Blowin’ Your Mind!" (1967).

Il box raccoglierà gli otto brani del disco originale, più una quantità di outtake, versioni alternative e una trentina di frammenti, che Morrison incise per rescindere il contratto con la label, per poi accasarsi in Warner Bros.

Molti dei pezzi sono stati, nel corso degli anni, pubblicati in varie vesti, ma sono presenti diverse versioni mai uscite prima d'ora.
