Van Morrison - The Authorized Bang Collection (Audio CD - 04/28/2017)

Three CD set. Van Morrison - The Authorized Bang Collection is 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. All songs on Disc One - The Original Masters and Disc Two - Bang Sessions & Rarities were produced and directed by Bert Berns. 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," writes Andrew Sandoval in his in-depth liner notes for the set. A Grammy-nominated producer and engineer, Sandoval compiled and curated the material on Van Morrison - The Authorized Bang Collection.

Condition:NEW.
