Label : Scorpio

Venue : various

Date : Between 1964 and 1975

Quality : Studio and soundboard recordings (A+)

Review (Michael Hayward) : Reported to be "a new deluxe 3CD set from the Scorpio label, that will bring together material from the 1964-75 period. The bulk of the material is studio demos/outakes, but there are selected live tracks as well. The majority of the material has never been bootlegged before, or even circulated in tape collectors circles. The packaging will be of a very high standard (this label has put out Bob Dylan and The Band material in this "Genuine" series with great results) with a beautiful colour fold out cover and a nice booklet with sleeve notes and contemporary interviews, as well as loads of great photos and rare record sleeves. This will stand as probably the most important "unofficial" Van Morrison release to date!" Artwork is great, very unusual pictures of Van. Each disc is in a slip disc (w/photos) and the whole is in a cardboard holder which opens up to three panels. There is also an interview booklet with photos included.
