Bang Masters is a compilation album by Van Morrison released in 1991 by Sony Music—owners of Bang Records' back catalog. The tracks were remixed from the original multi-tracks and were given a wider stereo spread with less compression. These remixes would later appear on a 1998 CD reissue of Blowin' Your Mind!, and subsequent compilations official and otherwise. The original stereo mixes would not see CD release until The Authorized Bang Collection in 2017.
The alternate version of "Brown Eyed Girl" included on this album was according to Bill Flannagan take six out of the twenty-two takes before the final released form.[3]
