Matt Uncovered - The Rarer Monro

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.

I do indeed.

I'm afraid to say every single modern Hallmark CD (This is the label that now calls it self Hallmark, NOT the budget label belonging to CBS in the 1980's/90's) I've heard comes from vinyl, and normally junk shop standard vinyl, transferred without even cleaning the record first!

Is this accurate - re price and release date?

OK, it's even cheaper here -

More interesting is that there are sound clips here. Haven't had time to try many of them, though clearly the first one isn't right (unless you like Maroon 5)

After all Michele and Richard's hard work, I do not feel it is right to be striving for the cheapest deal on the market place. Just be thankful it will soon be available!
Great news that it is being advertised on these sites at last. :D

If the release date is right this time it looks like Lena and Harry are the winners! :D

Marian don't tell me you don't like a bargain, are you saying you will seek out the most expensive seller for the cd then? Nobody pays more than they have to, even millionaire's like a bargain!

Michele herself said she strives to ensure the lowest price possible for Matt's products and we all appreciate that.

Just ordered from Amazon--£5.84 there, but like Marian, the price was not an issue--nevertheless that is a good price--but there was no info-no pic, no track list-just a release date of August 13th. Do you all have the same date ?

£4.99 seems a crazy price for a new double CD, especially when CD prices have gone up in recent months. Maybe the low price will attract the casual listener / buyer.

Hopefully sales will be good as a reward for all the hard work that has gone into it. I like a bargain, but I want more CDs being produced in the future too.

I was waiting to see what HMV were offering as they are usually quicker off the mark than the other two sites.No sign yet though!

MIke pre-order prices are often quite cheap then for some reason when the item is released the price increases.

Karl, so true, over here in the U.S. when a new album is released on the first week it's on sale, and then after one week it goes back to it's normal price.

I'm also waiting for HMV. I also checked wowhd and they didn't have it either.
