Van Morrison is to revisit his live album It’s Too Late To Stop Now next month.

Titled It’s Too Late To Stop Now…Volumes II, III, IV & DVD, the package will launch on 3CD/DVD and features performances recorded at the Los Angeles Troubadour, the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and London’s Rainbow between May and July 1973.

In addition, the album will come with a July 24 gig at the Rainbow that was filmed for a BBC special but never released.

The package is out on June 10 via Sony Music – the same day that a remastered 2CD/2LP of the original It’s Too Late To Stop Now is released.

Morrison has lined up a handful of shows over the coming months, kicking off at the Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle, Ireland, on July 3.
