Matt Monro Forum

Hi there. I wonder if anyone knows about the various CDs / downloads available for Matt's Manila concerts. There is the CD 'Yesterday' which I believe features the 1966 concert plus some bonus tracks from the 1980s. Is this CD any good?

There then are two other options There is a download called 'Live In Manila" that features 14 tracks released by Odeon. Also there is another "Live In Manila" download that has 24 tracks including songs such as Star Eyes and Christmas Magic.

Does anyone know what years these two concerts are from, and are they worth the purchase?

Thanks in advance

The full 1966 concert is on Yesterday form Night Owl

The Bonus tracks are form 1983 and are only partially available elsewhere.

The One Media & Odean versions are not complete and some of the tracks like Star Eyes and Christmas Magic are not from Manila at all but from radio broadcasts!

To get everything from Manila (and the radio tracks to!) you need both Yesterday and a double cd from Delta Music called Born Free.

All the CD's can be found here:-

Thanks very much for your help. I'd seen Live in Manila on Spotify, and the track list was in a completely different order, so that was confusing me (it doesn't take much). I've now ordered Born Free and Yesterday. Looking forward to them. Cheers again.
