"It's Too Late to Stop Now" is a live album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in January 1974. Frequently named as one of the best live albums ever recorded, "It's Too Late to Stop Now" was recorded during what has often been said to be Morrison's greatest phase as a live performer. The double album is composed of performances that were recorded in concerts at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, California, the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and at The Rainbow in London from a three-month tour with his eleven-piece band, The Caledonia Soul Orchestra, from May to July 1973.

"His Band And The Street Choir" features the top single "Domino", which continues to be Van Morrison's most successful single within his solo career. The album also includes classics "Give Me A Kiss," "Call Me Up in Dreamland" and "Blue Money." Compared to Morrison's preceeding hit album Moondance, His Band And Street Choir evokes a more relaxed sound.

Does the cliché of the artist improving with time, just like good wine, apply to Van Morrison? For several years now, the old bard from Belfast has been unstoppable, publishing up to two albums a year. With Three Chords and the Truth (his sixth in four years!), he proves it is possible to have both quantity and quality. Composed of 14 previously unpublished songs (not covers, as was often the case on his previous records from the 2010’s), this 2019 vintage encapsulates all of Van The Man’s art. His unique style of jazz and blues tinged with gospel soul is supported by a refined, warm instrumentation.

In the fall of 1969, Van Morrison entered the studio to record "Moondance", the album that would soon become his commercial breakthrough and one of the most beloved recordings of all time. This re-release is a high-resolution stereo remaster by the original album engineer Elliot Scheiner.

1968's "Astral Weeks" remains not only Morrison's masterpiece, but one of the greatest records ever made. A haunting, deeply personal collection of impressionistic folk styled epics recorded by an all star jazz backing unit, its poetic complexity earned critical raves. It is included on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”, MOJO’s “100 Best Albums” and NME’s “Greatest Albums of All Time”. Standouts include “Sweet Thing”, “Cyprus Avenue” and “The Way Young Lovers Do”.

This captivating album showcases Van Morrison's remarkable instrumental compositions, featuring previously unreleased tracks from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. With a total of 17 tracks, this collection takes you on a mesmerising journey into one of the world's most admired archives.

This album represents a small percentage of the huge amount of unreleased material we are hoping to roll out in the near future, rather than letting it gather dust in some archive. The big band tracks were recorded in 2014 and the duets more recently. Chris White and Paul Moran individually picked the songs that they wanted to do new band arrangements for. The Willie Nelson and Kurt Elling tracks were recorded in 2018 and 2019, the Curtis Stigers and Joss Stone tracks in 2018.
