Thanks a lot Marian for the link.
I have just read the October News, but will probably read again later.
I will do my very best to enjoy the Cruise, most of all to relax.
Kind Regards....Angela

Thank you Marian for the link!

Great news letter ...Michele looking happier bless her xx

More successful cruise news Michele Also fantastic news re the documentary on 007 Bond songs which rightly will include From Russia With Love and you

Good to read this in the October news ..............

"I had a lovely email from Anje Harrod who is Ed’s daughter. She has kindly offered to send me any of Ed’s archives that he accumulated over the years. She said Ed would want it to come ‘home’. It is such a lovely thought and one that I know Ed would love. It just goes to prove that we have the most fabulous fans who remain staunch in their support year after year. Through his music Matt lives on".

Ed was a former forum member from the USA, a very staunch Matt fan who sadly passed away a few years ago now

Anyone read the October news updates yet ?

Hi Robert- yes John and I always read it.As always fascinating cruise news and more.Great to see Michele has finally received more books to sell for her talks. Also I wonder if Margaret and Edgar Salmon were at either of the book launches?
Good news also that the house in Florida is sold and that Max is getting married next year.
Plus Matt Jr touring against next year keeping Matts name alive and out there.

Hi all, just recieved our monthly update from Jasmine records. Matt Monro recordings from 1952-62 a 3 Cd set. Interesting???

Yes, that is a bit of a surprise Lena. Nice cover photo though.

Hmm. All presumably ripped off from my remasters - and far from complete as it doesn't include all the previously unreleased material included on rarities etc. The inclusion of the BBC tracks is also open to question.

Actually looking at it again they have the two tracks from Parade of the Pops listed as "BBC Transcriptions" - which they aren't. Nice research!
Needless to say this is unauthorized and will not be promoted by the estate in anyway. Thank you for not linking to this product
I have long had the ambition putting out a complete box set of all Matt's Studio and (surviving) Radio Recordings - all newly remastered, A bit like the Tony Bennett set from a few years ago, Although it would probably have to be crowd funded. However sets like this tend to put me off the idea!

I have never seen the bottom photo of Matt holding his jacket
