Matt Monro The Spanish songs on CD

[DutchDean]

I have recently been trying to get hold of some of Matt's Spanish albums but seem to have drawn a dead end as far as CD re-issues are concerned. Which Spanish LP's have been re-issued on CD, if any?
What Spanish recordings of Matt's have been re-issued on CD?
What is still Available?

Thanks Dean

Hi Dean

En Español (EMI 1987), Musica Para Sonar (EMI/Odeon 1991), Alguien Canto (Starlite 1993), and En España (EMI Gold/Capitol 1996) are all Spanish CD album titles by Matt Monro. Sadly, none of these seem to be commercially available at the moment (at least in the UK).

[DutchDean]

Thanks Lee,
Do these CDs all have the same track listing or are they complete album re-issues.
I have found a list of about 50 songs that Matt recorded in Spanish.
Maybe a Spanish boxset would be a great idea to get all of these and other unreleased material out on release, anyone interested at EMI?

Hold onto your hats - Two on One being released in March 2007
Two Spanish offerings, I just haven't selected which ones yet. In the polling booth I asked whether there was any interest to releasing the Spanish tracks and the answer was an overwhelming "yes".

The beauty of this website is that I can listen to your feedback, comments, wants, wishes and hopefully make a few dreams come true.

[DutchDean]

Please do include the following two;

A MI MANERA - My Way (Spanish)
HISTORIA DE AMOR - Love Stroy (Spanish)

All the best Dean

hi dean just out of curiousity, what album is the spanish version of love story from, i am presuming it is WHERE DO I BEGIN? i have never heard this track

[DutchDean]

Sorry but I do not know - I have never been able to find the track either. The song is from 1972 so it could be anything around that period.
I find Matt's discography very confusing as there are som many 'Collections' and 'Best Of' LPs listed, does anyone know of a list of Spanish LPs with only original material?

Johnny Mathis also recorded the theme to 'Love Story' in Spanish.

Is there any further news on what tracks might be on this CD?

Matt's spanish tracks are hard to come by, though En Espanol is available for download at HMV, so I was wondering if this might be one of the albums included on this CD later this year.
