Rolling Stone reported Thursday that a new release of Van Morrison hits will revisit some of his best-loved albums with forthcoming five-disc deluxe edition of his 1969 classic Moondance.

Morrison issued a message condemning this release today on his website:

"Yesterday Warner Brothers stated that "Van Morrison was reissuing Moondance". It' is important that people realise that this is factually incorrect. I did not endorse this, it is unauthorised and it has happened behind my back

My management company at that time gave this music away 42 years ago and now I feel as though it"s being stolen from me again."

Moondance was originally recorded during the fall of 1969, and quickly became the breakthrough album for Morrison.
