On October 22nd, Warner Brothers will release a five-disc deluxe edition of Van Morrison’s 1970 classic, Moondance. The package will feature a new remaster of the album itself, three discs of previously unreleased music from the recording sessions, and a Blu-Ray Audio disc including high-resolution 48K bit PCM stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound of the original album.
It’s a pretty sweet set, and one HT reader will end up walking away with a free copy. To win, go to the comments section and post a link to your favorite Van Morrison cover (meaning a cover of a Morrison song by another artist). The commenter who impresses us the most will be Moondance-ing in style.
UPDATE: The deadline for the giveaway now ends Tuesday, October 22nd, at 5:00 p.m. EST.
