VAN MORRISON REISSUES

As a result of the successful release of the first six titles in January 2008, Van Morrison and Exile Productions in association with Polydor/UMe are pleased to announce the worldwide release of more classic albums from the Van Morrison back catalogue on July 1, 2008. The albums are being remastered and will include bonus material, none of which has been previously available. Each album will include original artwork and full lyrics (those noted) to Van Morrison compositions. Van Morrison’s most recent release, Keep It Simple, debuted in the #10 spot on the Billboard 200 Album Chart, making it the highest ever U.S. chart position of any Van Morrison album. This is quite a feat considering Van Morrison’s 40+ years of making music.

The second series to be released is as follows:
*VEEDON FLEECE
LIVE AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE BELFAST
*NO GURU, NO METHOD, NO TEACHER
*ENLIGHTENMENT
A NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO
*THE HEALING GAME
* includes lyrics

These bonus recordings are of particular interest and, with the exception of LIVE AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE BELFAST, each reissued album includes exclusive unreleased recordings from each respective time period, giving a unique insight into some of his most revered songs.

The bonus tracks are outlined below.
VEEDON FLEECE
Twilight Zone (alternative take)
Cul De Sac (alternative take)
NO GURU, NO METHOD, NO TEACHER
Oh The Warm Feeling (alternative version)
Lonely At The Top
ENLIGHTENMENT

So Quiet In Here (alternative version)
A NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO
