Earlier in the year I posted about Part One of the Remasters campaign of Van Morrison's albums. Here comes part two, kindly brought to you by Polydor (Spin CD;s to pre-order)

They are due out 30 th June 2008 and all have previously unreleased versions of key tracks.

Albums:

1. The brilliant A Night in San Francisco (Gloria with John Lee Hooker is a highlight, plus a killer version of In the Garden)

2. My favourite Van album of all time, The Common One

3. Enlightenment (not so god)

4. Inarticulate Speech of the Heart (brilliant, especially Rave On John Donne)

5. Live at the Grand Old Opera House (not too bad)

6. No Guru, No Teacher, No Method (a spiritual powerhouse)

7. The Healing Game (so-so)

8. The massively underated Veedon Fleece (? as good as Astral Weeks).

There are also a couple of never-before-heard tracks on No Guru and the Healing Game
