Following the deal, 33 Van Morrison album titles will be made available via streaming services from 28 August while the label will also release the Essential Van Morrison, a 37-track career-spanning anthology, on the same day.
Adam Block, president of Legacy Recordings, said: ‘Van Morrison is one of the great singers, performers and musical artists in the history of recorded music.
‘He continues to touch the hearts and souls of millions with the emotional power and spiritual truths of his songs. Legacy Recordings is proud to partner with Van to help him protect and curate his astounding catalog and to be given the opportunity to bring his music to whole new generations of fans around the world.’
