Matt Uncovered: The Rarer Monro - Date Set

Five years in the making it delivers exactly what it says on the cover. Stored in the vaults of EMI and the BBC for more than four decades this sees 50 + wonderful new tracks as well as a smattering of unearthed jingles that Matt recorded for some of the most prestigious products of the day.

1. Yes, great cover.
2. Difficult to say, but 'Other People, 'Let Me Choose Life' and 'Only The Night Wind Knows' would vie for top position, with 'Other People' probably winning out.
3. Not terriby keen on the Spanish tracks in gerneral, but that's just me.
4. YES.

A really,really beautiful track from MATT UNCOVERED-THE RARER MONRO 0n Siren FM tonight.
It is called 'A Few Tender Words' :D :D

Last week Richard discussed how he had remastered 'Strange Lady In Town'.It was fascinating to hear the before and after.
A first listen also to another new track called SUDDENLY (I think) :)

A fabulous swinging number from Matt on Siren FM tonight.
A 1958 recording of OLD DEVIL MOON led by the conductor HARRY RABINOWITZ and described as 'an experimental stereo recording' :D :D :D

He sang that at the Fans reunited---I loved it--but wonder how they got hold of it--I thought it was one of those very rare tracks.

Thanks Marian.
It is on Wednesdays and timewise it can be anywhere between 5.40 and 6.00 p.m.
It all depends on how much talking Alex does beforehand :wink:
Hope you find it next week Mike.
