    I said "What's MTV and VH1?", because I haven't watched it in so many years, I probably wouldn't recognize it. I heard they've all but stopped playing videos and put on a rash of reality TV shows. And if they do play videos, I imagine they will not be playing the videos from bands I want to see anyway.

    I've only seen this offered on Van's website so far (preorder). The first 7 disks are 8.50 pounds each or all 7 as a set for 61 pounds (in other words, no price break).

    I haven't preordered, as I'm hoping they'll be sold here in the states cheaper than buying them in pounds.

    From Van's website:

    Van Morrison and Exile Productions in association with Polydor/Universal are pleased to announce the worldwide release of the Van Morrison back catalogue commencing January 2008.

    This worldwide exclusive release covers 29 albums from 1971’s Tupelo Honey through to 2002’s Down The Road and includes the 1997 Two CD collection The Story of Them. The albums are being remastered and will include bonus material, none of which has been previously available.

    Each album will include original artwork and full lyrics to Van Morrison compositions. The first series of 7 albums will be released on January 28th followed by a further 3 sets, all retailing at mid-price.

    The first series features:

    Tupelo Honey

    It’s Too Late To Stop Now

    Wavelength

    Into The Music

    A Sense Of Wonder

    Avalon Sunset

    Back On Top

    The bonus recordings are of particular interest, the first time Van Morrison has authorised any unreleased material since The Philosopher’s Stone in 1998. Each reissued album includes exclusive unreleased recordings from each respective time period, giving a unique insight into some of his most revered songs.

    Tupelo Honey, 1971 – Wild Night (alternative take) and a reworking of the traditional Down By The Riverside

    It’s Too Late To Stop Now, 1974 - a live take on Brown Eyed Girl

    Wavelength, 1978 – Kingdom Hall and Wavelength (Live at the Roxy Theatre, LA, Nov 26, 1978)

    Into The Music, 1979 – Steppin’ Out Queen and Troubadours (alternative takes)

    A Sense Of Wonder, 1984 – Crazy Jane On God and A Sense Of Wonder (alternative takes)

    Avalon Sunset, 1989 – Whenever God Shines His Light (alternative take) and When The Saints Go Marching In (with additional lyrics by Van Morrison)

    Back On Top, 1999 – Philosopher’s Stone (alternative take) and Valley Of Tears (A completely new arrangement of the Fats Domino Song)

    1. Tell us something you love:

    I love being home.

    2. Tell us something you know to be true:

    My husband's love.

    3. Tell us about someone new in your life:

    I'll have a new employee starting later this month. She's Greek, so I'm really keen to pick her brain for vacation ideas, lol.

    4. Who can you never please?

    My mother-in-law. And who cares?

    5. Friday fill-in: You know I love you. (I say this a lot because I like to tease people.)

    Wow, I totally missed this thread when I was so busy at work in November. What an interesting read.

    I know it started with a lot of hurt feelings, but it's wonderful to read it through and see the tranformation and good coming out of a bad situation. All I can say is our history makes us what we are, whether you're Tom Petty or Danny Roberts. Since this particular pain has led to a release of creativity, I guess you just have to embrace it and be thankful, even though it was painful. I'm just glad for you, Danny, that fate brought you and Charlie together in this way, that it's been so good for you both, and that we all got to witness it in part. Thanks so much for sharing. And I really love the music you've put up on MySpace.

    And for Stan, I hope that he eventually finds his peace. Many of us certainly do love Stan and I for one miss him terribly and would so love to hear him play again. I hope that happens someday. And I hope for the best with his situation with his folks. It must be a very hard time, but I'm glad he's able to take care of his parents when they need him most.
