Matt Monro Forum

No, I haven't seen it appear in W H Smith yet and it's not listed on their Web site, either.

Hi Lee, There are actually two original Mastertapes for Unchained Melody. One in mono and one in stereo. These are both the same take and edit. I have the stereo master for The Greatest. It has appeared in stereo before on a dutch compilation (But a different edit - where this edit comes from I don...

What it doesn't say is that all of these recordings are taken from their original master tapes for the first time in many years (some have only previously appear on cd from vinyl dubs) and should sound be quite an upgrade in sound. The tapes from Abbey Road sound quite incredible - i'm still waitin...

A Top Pop Club International 10" record is being sold on http://www.gemm.com at the moment that apparently includes three tracks by Matt Monro. The catalogue number is TPC16, so presumably that means it is the number 16 in the series. The link below takes you to the relevant page for those who wish...

Whilst I am on the forum, when we were at the meet, Michele was selling Matts CD "The Decca Recordings" I didn't buy one as I had already ordered a copy from H.M.V,they now tell me it is not available, has anyone any ideas where I can purchase this C.D. Hi This CD is available from the Zavvi (Virgi...

Hi Gray I don't if you've heard the LP/cassette Hits of Yesterday , but it contains a mono version of 'From Russia with Love'. This was actually recorded in the studio in mono and is not just a 'copy' of a stereo mix re-recorded monaurally. If you get the chance to hear it, you will notice that Mat...

Still have 22/10/ 07 on Play.com tonight. Will keep an eye on release date and let you know. £7.99 seems ridiculous, but it does indeed say £7.99 delivered, on HMV Guernsey. Marian :lol: Have just noticed that the price for the album has now increased to £9.99 on HMV's Web site. Glad I ordered m...

It is now available on HMV's Web site for only £6.99 delivered - even better value than Asda.

I've mentioned it previously, but I would love to have a CD of alternate recordings of the Matt Monro hits, i.e., different takes. I've heard that he recorded many of these songs in one take. But there must be some alternate takes available. I believe When Love Comes Along on The Rare Monro sounds ...

Asda is now selling it (via their Web site, at least) for £7.47 (delivered) - great value!

I am trying to find out some information on two schools that might not even exist anymore. One of you might live near there and be able to offer some information. The first is Duncombe Road School in London. I would assume it has to be in the east end of London. Hi Michele According to Don Black in...

Does anyone know why this was on this label and when it was recorded? Have they ever been re-issued on CD? Yes, these tracks have been released on CD. They appear on the Don Rennie and Matt Monro CD, which was basically a re-release of the original Ember LP, Matt Monro and Don Rennie (names in that...
