Review: It's Too Great To Stop Now is a selection of classic Van Morrison tunes - is there any other sort - played by a talented nine-piece band. They did so back in 1971 at an intimate gig in front of a live studio audience. There are tunes from the still to be released Tupelo Honey LP as well as classics such as 'Friday's Child (Them)' and covers including 'Hound Dog' and 'Just Like A Woman' which find Van Morrison in fine and amusing form. It is a great moment in time form one of the greats of his era.

Review: 1968 and 1969 were turbulent years in the history of The Rolling Stones, as well as society at large. Brian Jones left, Mick Taylor joined, and they played a bunch of small shows, made TV appearances and headlined a massive gig at Hyde Park. This new album revisits all these phases which helped make them into the greatest rock 'n' roll band on the planet. It includes tracks recorded live at the Olympia Stadium, Detroit, recordings from the Hyde Park show that was broadcast on Dutch Radio Veronica and material from Saville Theatre, London that was broadcast US TV as "Supernight of Rock'n'Roll".
