August News

Want to ask Richard Moore something - go for it! He is a veritable walking encyclopedia and is never happier than talking music.

There is now -
I always do my best to upload on the 1st of the month but sometimes it will be later in the day. Every month It will be posted as soon as i physically can do it, but sometimes it might even be as late as the 2nd!

Are we right in thinking that Warner have issued further copies of the CD "The Very Best of Matt Monro" as the sleeve notes and CD refer to Parlophone Records Ltd being a Warner Music Group Company and the CD itself has been produced in the EU. The other difference is that the picture is lighter. On the original CD which was issued by EMI was produced in the UK. Hopefully the reason is because it is a good seller and might encourage them to get involved more with Matt's music.

Maureen & Harry did you notice that from Amazon or did you buy it again?
I just checked Amazon and it does state a Warner company.

It's entirely possible, but they never tell us. It was supposed to be deleted when the Definitive was issued, but as that is missing in action they have evidently decided to re-press.

Pity as it's a badly mastered hotchpotch of tapes - some mono, some stereo and dates from 1976. It wouldn't be so bad if the re-issued it using more recent masters, but no.

No Karl we didn't buy the CD from Amazon we bought it from our local HMV Store. They were doing a promotion last Christmas and in addition to The Very Best Of.... they were also selling The Singer's Singer and other titles as well.

Thank you Richard for the explanation and we definitely agree with you regarding the quality. It is a shame because there is such a good selection of songs.

I think MIchele mentioned in the last newsletter that the August news may be a few days late Sandra. :)
