Blue and Sentimental Matt's very first album, which was released as both a 10" on Decca and 12" on London, would probably be the rarest and hardest to find. Although of course all the tracks from this album are now available on CD, it's great to have the vinyl too.
I like to have both, and have recently built up a nice collection of Matt's vinyl albums.
I believe Matt Monro Sings Don Black and Softly As I Leave You are quite rare too.
Then there are albums that were only released in other countries like Michelle, Yesterday and This is All I Ask, but do occasionally come up on ebay U.S.
There are a few EPs which were released in Japan in red vinyl, to look out for too.
John has an excellent collection of rare albums, and I'm sure he'll be able to give you lots more useful info and guidance than I can.

Marian--I use the same equipment to copy cassettes, as I do to copy Lp's--namely a cd copier---not one that attaches to your computer, but one that attaches to your stereo. My one is by Sony. It is a very time-consuming job--especially if you want gaps between each track---but worth it if you have some rare stuff on cassette. I have not converted many cassettes to cd's personally--maybe half a dozen or so.
I think there is also stuff available to attach to the computer, but I have never looked at those--mainly due to lack of space in my computer room, but I think better results could be achieved with one of those.

I have converted many lp's and singles to cd, like you say Marian it is very time consuming, and very annoying if the record jumps or sticks. The results seem to vary as well, some turn out better than others for some reason.
I think the hardest albums to find are the very early ones, as you say Marian, "Blue and Sentimental" and "Love is the same Anywhere". Then some of the later ones like "If I never sing another song" and "By Request" are rare as well.

I would pay big bucks for a CD of all your 7 inch 45s! I love 45s!mariana44 wrote:I did actually get rid of lots of LP's as they were taking up so much space--but I still have about 200, that I could not get on cd, and I am --very--slowly copying them onto cds--and also trying to get all my 7" 45's onto cd---but it is a long job. I just do ther odd one occasionally.
Matt LP's
i have about 22 Matt LP's in sleeves and jackets. if you can put them on cd's and send me a copy of each you can make them for yourselves and also keep the lp's.
