Songs

[edit]

All of the songs on the album had been previously released by Morrison, and were recorded by him before being used in a movie, except for one (Comfortably Numb) which first appeared on Roger Waters's The Wall Live in Berlin published in 1990. Two date back to his group Them, before he began to record as a solo artist. Two of the recordings, however, were previously unreleased, including a version of "Brown Eyed Girl" recorded specifically for the collection. The version of the album available for download on iTunes contained the song "These Are the Days". This song was used in the film Nine Months and was originally released on Morrison's 1989 album Avalon Sunset.
