Van Morrison - The Genuine Philosopher's Stone [3CD, 2006/FLAC]

 

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. This will stand as probably the most important "unofficial" Van Morrison release to date!

Manfred Mann's Earth Band – Manfred Mann's Earth Band Box Set (13 CD, 1992/FLAC)

An R&B band that only played pop to get on the charts, Manfred Mann and its various permutations ranked among the most adept British Invasion acts in both styles. South African-born keyboardist Manfred Mann was originally an aspiring jazz player, moving toward R&B when more blues-oriented sounds became in vogue in England in the early '60s. Original Manfred Mann singer Paul Jones was one of the best British Invasion singers, and his resonant vocals were the best feature of their early R&B sides, which had a slightly jazzier and smoother touch than the early work of the Rolling Stones and Animals.
