I think you may need a clue. Once again, "think outside the box" for From Russia With Love.

The answer lies within the forum's postings.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with James Bond. It has to be a song that Matt Monro recorded in order for it to be included in this game. I believe he only recorded one James Bond song.

I don't have this song in my Matt Monro collection, which will tell you that it's not one of his big hits. But it has been written about on this forum.

So it can't be on any of the recent releases either Paul. Is it quite an early recording?

Jeff, is it "Love Is the Same Anywhere" :?:
"My Tears Will Fall Now That You're Gone,
I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On" :(

Robert - that was a good guess, but not correct. This one is more in the line of Tony & Cheri and not an opposite of the words From Russia With Love.

Not You and Me Against The World; sorry Marian.

Actually I believe I have the song among my Matt Monro recordings. It's on A Time For Love CD compilation; I bought that at HMV in Singapore many years ago and have been saving it for a rainy day, i.e., for the day when I need to hear new Matt Monro music, which hasn't happened with The Ultimate, Heart of a Man, and The Rare Monro continuously providing so much new music! I think it's time to open it so I can hear this song finally. Then I may be able to provide more clues. But for now, focus on the IQ Test area of the forum.

Well, I have that album Paul, but cannot see which track it could be.
I'm going to try "In The Arms of Love" :?: :?: just as a guess.

Marian :wink:

No, that's not it Marian.

From Russia With Love is a favourite song of whom? And the favourite song of that person's Cheri or Elizabeth is .... ?

How about that for good clues! :D

It isn't Wednesday's Child is it Paul? The only thing I can think of is something to do with spies, because this is the theme to The Quiller Memerandum (don't think I have spelt that correct) and James Bond, they are both spy films. I am probably a million miles away!

Yes, John, you are a million miles away. Keep thinking and guessing. I really thought that Marian, Marian, Robert, and Lena and Harry would have gotten it by now.
