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.

Can't wait to hear Matt's version :)
Ha Al Bowlly he sang "Midnight and The Stars & You" which many people will recall from "The Shining". My favourite film btw.

He sadly died from a bomb blast in WW2! I did try bidding on his autograph years ago on ebay but got outbid for my collection of autographs of stars from the film.

Wow--lucky you !!

You may be the first one up with a review for us.

I think we are all eagerly awaiting this--I think it will deserve a new thread of it's own.

Was that from Amazon, Mike---I forget where I ordered mine in the end-I think it was Amazon-it usually is-but I have had no notification yet.

Not convinced that the post will speed it to me, but at least it left early. I ordered from Play.

My credit card was due to expire soon so the new one arrrived which I activated, forgetting I had pre-ordered Matt's cd - the payment was declined as the details were different - OH NO!!!!!!!!!

Anyway I input the new details and re-orderred from HMV this time who often send new releases out ahead of time, watch this one arriving later!!!!!

No I don't. If I did I'd get them to post out their pre-orders 2 days earlier.

They posted 4 in a row to me, each time they sent them late Saturday afternoon. No chance of getting it on release date like that.
