Van Morrison - The Best Of Van Morrison Volume Three

Volume One was essential, its follow-up well worth investigating, but a two-disc third volume is stretching things a bit. Not that there isn’t much to recommend among these 31 tracks, it’s just that the ‘best’ tag is spurious to say the least. Late 90s favourites such as Days Like This and Back On Top should be praised, although for the most part it’s a compilation of cut-offs and curios better suited to a making-up-thenumbers final disc in a box set.
