Matt Sings, Nelson Swings
Due out on the 10th December and given exclusively to Nostalgia Direct, let us know what you think of the album tracks, artwork and notes. Richard has done a wonderful job in remastering this disc which was previously available through the Nelson Riddle Society to its members.

Nelson Riddle
The album is officially released on the 10th December but was available for pre=orders from the first of the month. Nostalgia Direct printed their brochure after receiving a mock up copy from Odeon Entertainment. EMI and I decided to change certain aspects of the album but it as specified on "CD of the Month"
"Matt Sings, Nelson Swings" arrived today, and I'm listening to it as I write.
It is so great to have this even greater production of the earlier "Touch of Class" with Matt and Nelson Riddle.
The sound quality is wonderful, and the clarity for a 40 year old live performance, just amazing. I believe our thanks must be due here to Richard.
Robert gave us such an accurate and detailed review of the earlier CD, I wouldn't dream of trying to better it, as all he said applies to this new recording too, and more.
The sleeve notes by Michele, cover and sleeve photos, and over all presentation of the CD come as an added bonus to yet another great and rare Matt Monro contribution to treasure.
Not forgetting for a moment the beautiful musical arrangements of Nelson Riddle, and oh, I nearly forgot, "a hand for the band"!

Earlier today I received a very nice comment about my re-mastering of the Nelson Riddle album - and not being one to normally blow my own trumpet (even if i owned one) - I decided that I would add it to my website and post it here too.
"I finally was able to order "Matt Sings Nelson Swings" from that company's Web site (for a while they wouldn't take U.S. orders), and I am AMAZED by the incredible sound quality! I just keep playing it over and over. It is such an improvement over the first pressing...I've never had my enjoyment of a piece of music increase as much simply from a technical improvement. I keep playing “Strike Up The Band†over and over and over at full blast in my car."

Quick question please, you've said above that your restoration techniques have changed - does that mean if you were to re-look at the examples posted on your website we would have slightly different sounds now?
Or would we end up with the same sound, but you would use a different method to get there?
Thank you!
