REMASTER By Captain Acid March 2012
Hi friends,
I love this original album so much, I just had to make this acetate sound better.
I have fixed the phase problem and did some EQ.
Mostly by adding bass and cutting some high frequencies.
I also did some level correction and that was all.
Ah Yes, and I manually declicked vinyl pops, on the last track on album.
It was just so annoying and the song has lot of quiet parts so I had to do it.
It`s much better now.
I am quite happy how it sound now.
I have adopted the artwork too.
Enjoy,
Captain Acid March 2012

Great call Grant, excellent request!!!!!
You’ve got great insight into the public’s interest in Van Music my friend.
My long time friend “Behindtheritual” is also like a psychic with his insights into Morrison compilations – his last few ideas for Van Compilations have lead to 2,000 to 3,000 downloads within the 1st five days of the torrent being uploaded.
(The Van Morrison Christmas Album)
Nothing and no one will ever be able to top his brilliant idea for the greatest Van Morrison Compilation ever, and the one I had the most fun working with him on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Van Morrison – Poetry (A Compilation 2010)
The 4 Disc Set
As of date – March 2012 – Van Morrison – Poetry has an estimated 50,000 downloads and is still the number one Van Morrison Compilation ever shared freely via the world wibe web, (and still going strong).
Here’s a little insight from the genius at work (behindtheritual) and how he came up with the idea that could have made Van Morrison win Grammy’s, Gold Records, Sleep every night on a big bed of cash, etc, (you get the idea):
Notes From “Behindtheritual” circa 2010
The Idea for the Compilation;
In WAVELENGTH magazine No. 1 there was an article by the leading Irish poet Paul Durcan called “The Drumshambo Hustler” which was first printed in the litery magazine MAGILL in May, 1988. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Durcan)
The article attempts to put Van’s poetry into a modern Irish context and he contends that Patrick Kavanagh and Van Morrison are the two finest poets in Ireland in his lifetime.
He goes to offer the following Top Thirty of Van Morrison’s poems:
01 SUMMERTIME IN ENGLAND
02 ROLLING HILLS
03 IN THE GARDEN
04 CLEANING WINDOWS
05 LISTEN TO THE LION
06 SNOW IN SAN ANSELMO
07 RAVE ON, JOHN DONNE
08 ALAN WATT’S BLUES
09 A SENSE OF WONDER
10 HARD NOSE THE HIGHWAY
11 MADAME GEORGE
12 QUEEN OF THE SLIPSTREAM
13 GLORIA
14 INTO THE MYSTIC
15 IF YOU AND I COULD BE AS TWO
16 INARTICULATE SPEECH OF THE HEART
17 TORE DOWN A LA RIMBAUD
18 CYPRUS AVENUE
19 FOREIGN WINDOW
20 TIR NA NOG
21 IRISH ROVER
22 BALLERINA
23 AND IT STONED ME
24 THE STREETS OF ARKLOW
25 T. B. SHEETS
26 IVORY TOWER
27 HEY GIRL
28 SAINT DOMINIC’S PREVIEW
29 AND THE HEALING HAS BEGUN
30 FULL FORCE GALE
31 IN THE DAYS BEFORE ROCK n ROLL (Bonus)
“There’s no difference between lyrics and poetry. Words are words. The only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. They’ve got something to lose if they say it’s all poetry; if there’s not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. It’s all the same. Lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. They are interchangeable to me.”
Van Morrison: A Quote on lyrics, music, people, poetry, and words in the academic and social culure.

“You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
I write songs. Then, I record them. And, later, maybe I perform them on stage. That’s what I do. That’s my job. Simple.”
Quotation of Van Morrison 1974
Wow. I just got a chance to actually listen to most of this. Amazing! Thanks again. And – as for that “Poetry” collection — sounds incredible. Is there a chance you could post that?
Thanks and cheers to a great weekend! Thanks FM.
Great music! Thanks for this wonderfull post, Mat.
