  2. Being an American, this has been out for a couple of weeks here. It doesn’t suck – I was expecting worse. Not high praise, but Van is clearly in good voice here – better than many of his duet partners.

  4. mmm..tend to agree with all of the above, given Van’s past of being quite particular (and not to mention moody!!) about who he works with, how the hell did he manage to stay in company with this motley crew long enough to record an entire album….wait let me guess !! Superannuation !!

  11. If ever a catalog deserved a thoughtful Super Deluxe Series, its Van Morrison

    If ever a catalog did not deserve a nasty duets reissue its Van Morrison.

    The RRG with Bubble is laugh out loud awful.

  12. Puzzled as to why he’s doing this. He rarely revisits the old stuff. I really liked ‘Born to Sing: No Plan B’ so was hoping for a new album of the same standard. The new version of ‘Real Real Gone’ with Buble is really weak. This’ll be one of those album he’s phones in.

    1. “He rarely revisits his old stuff”?…..try one of his concerts Gareth, its the newer stuff that he rarely plays! Van is (was?) a genius and some of his gigs are amazing! But this is inexcusable. We are still waiting for “The Philosophers Stone Part 2” never mind the rest of the remasters. He said he was unhappy with the “Moondance” reissue, I can’t believe he’s ecstatic about this. New label, new attempt to re-invent himself. Please Van don’t try and tour with this album.

  14. I only hope it rekindles interest in the back catalogue and maybe he’ll get a deal to get the rest of the remasters out that were stopped years ago. I Mean, how can we live in a society where St Dominics Preview (amongst other classics) is currently out of print?

  19. Wot no Willie Nelson? I thought it was obligatory that no duet album whether the singer was dead or alive could be released without Willie going through the motions.
