Van Morrison, "Moondance Deluxe Edition" (Rhino)

Full disclosure: "Moondance" was my wedding song.

Van Morrison's seminal 1970 album of the same name, now re-mastered as a one-, two- or four-CD and Blu-ray audio package from Warner Bros., sounds as crisp and swing-danceable as it did when it hit the airwaves 43 years ago. If you fancy yourself a music fan and don't own the album yet, you have no excuse. If you're a fan of Van the Man, the deluxe edition will probably blow your mind.

Only true audiophiles with a way to listen to music that doesn't involve ear buds will appreciate the re-mastering, but there are 50 unreleased session recordings here, including a piano-heavy version of the title track and six takes of "Brand New Day." It's a trip to hear Van Morrison try out different tempos and vocal styles for "Into the Mystic." Also included, a previously unreleased song that didn't make the final album called "I Shall Sing."

Overall it's a rare look inside the making of an album that Rolling Stone ranked as No. 65 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
