Sto già piangendo, sia perchè è uno dei miei album preferiti in assoluto (con una facciata pressoché perfetta, parlando di vecchi vinili), sia perché scucire 70/80 euro o più per una valanga di versioni degli stessi 10 pezzi un po’ mi secca. Deciderò al momento, ma non essendo un feticista dell’articolo in sé o delle registrazioni surround, penso che mi accontenterò della versione doppia, che comprende sia i due “inediti” veri, I Shall Sing e Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out, che contiene le takes più significative estratte dalla Super Deluxe e mi farò prestare da amici facoltosi la suddetta per godere del resto.
Ci si fa del male finanziariamente, ma del bene a livello musicale, quindi sempre bene accette queste gradite sorprese.
Essendo Van Morrison, Van Morrison, questo è stato il suo commento:
A MESSAGE FROM VAN MORRISON.
Yesterday Warner Brothers stated that “Van Morrison was reissuing Moondance”. It’ is important that people realise that this is factually incorrect. I did not endorse this, it is unauthorised and it has happened behind my back
My management company at that time gave this music away 42 years ago and now I feel as though it”s being stolen from me again

Che caratterino!
Alla prossima.

Appena ho la lista completa dei brani contenuti in John Martyn The Island Years, altri 17 CD + 1 DVD di delizie sonore, sarà mia cura tenervi informati.
