Van Morrison
'Van Morrison - The Authorized Bang Collection' is a deluxe 3CD library set, the first official comprehensive anthology ever assembled chronicling Morrison's musical output during a brief-but-astounding musical association with Bang Records, the groundbreaking hit-making label founded by legendary American producer/songwriter Bert Berns.
Disc One - The Original Masters presents original stereo mixes of recordings for the first time on CD. Including the archetypal 'Brown Eyed Girl' --first released on Bang 12" vinyl LP's: Blowin' Your Mind! (1967) and The Best of Van Morrison (1970).
Disc Two - Bang Sessions & Rarities includes the much sought-after original edited mono single mix of 'Brown Eyed Girl' and the original mono single mix with backing vocals for 'Ro Ro Rosey' in addition to previously unissued studio takes of 'T. B. Sheets', 'Midnight Special', 'Beside You' and some insightful outtakes of 'Brown Eyed Girl'.
Disc Three - Contractual Obligation Session presents thirty-one short songs that have been widely bootlegged as Van's contractual obligation demos for Bang. These songs show Van's incredible humor and give some insight into the frustrating close of his relationship with the label. They are included here for the sake of completeness and to finally officially close the chapter on Van's 1967 New York City recording sessions.
