Van Morrison remasters coming soon....

Inside a recently purchased Van disc there was info about many old recordings being remastered. I am looking for Veedon Fleece on cd ever since I brushed off my old Akai reel to reel and played that tape. Does anybody have any information on these remasters that are coming out soon...are they going to be a let down just as much of the remasters are these days?

Remasters that were released this past January are waaaaaaaaay better than the originals. Regardless of the quality of my source (and I have had many great ones) his closely miked vocals have made the original discs almost unlistenable. The remasters correct this and make them a joy to listen to. June is only two months away, can't wait.

Hi Tomcy6. Thanks for the info. I can't believe that "Moondance and "His Band and Street Choir" aren't listed.

No Astral Weeks, or is that already released?

The 1974 live set is fantastic in its remastered form. On heavy rotation at our house.

Veedon Fleece has always struck me as one of the most underappreciated records ever - perhaps because it's fairly morose. at any rate, I own an older remaster of it: polydor 31453 7456-2 that's actually quite good. it says 'remastered by Ian Cooper and Walter Samuel at Metropolis Mastering Ltd., London' in the booklet. if the new remasters disappoint, look for this one.
