Matt Uncovered: The Rarer Monro - Date Set
Re: Matt Uncovered: The Rarer Monro - Date Set
Well, I haven't had as much time as I'd like so far for listening to the CD. I'm now half way through CD1. I like the different arrangement of You're Sensational.

ITS VERY GOOD KARL ,THINK ILL HAVE ANOTHER LISTEN AFTER THE NEWS
Re: Matt Uncovered: The Rarer Monro - Date Set
I like that version of No One Will Ever Know. Lovely.
What a shame about Maria, with the English vocal hiding in the background. The Spanish vocal by Matt is fab.

Well, I started with disc 2, the main reason is that 2 songs that were played at the 2nd Fans Reunited in 2007 are on this disc, "Time To Go" and "Oh My Child" and couldn't wait until I heard these again, well, I had to wait 5 years I suppose but so worth the wait. Outstanding! Also I love "one Last Try" and "The World I Used To Know", and it is so great to hear the full english version of "If You Go Away", plus another 2 tracks from the Alguien Canto Lp also recorded in english. Another brilliant track is "How Can I Live Without Your Love". Also an alternative version of "Didn't We", which I actually prefer to the LP version, I think this is the version used on Matt Jnr's duet album. Very nice to have"Ten Out Of Ten", "Choose" and "Beautiful Beautiful" in prestige form from the "Song For Europe" ep as well. Super spanish versions of "Maria" and "For Once In My Life", and really enjoyed the songs from the 1961 radio shows. The alternative version of "Once In Every Long and Lonely While" is lovely too, always loved this song. Alternative versions of the lovely "Two People" and "Pretty Polly" are also included, forgot to mention "Let's Find An Island", which is beautiful too.
Finishing off with some great jingles and the sketch from The Kenny Everett radio show will mkae you laugh out loud.
Excellent sleeve notes from Michele as always, and very detailed list of the songs, great cover too.
Michele and Richard, you have surpassed yourselves as always, many thanks for all your hard work, it has been well worth the wait.
My review of disc 1 will follow tomorrow night.

I had decided that I was going to avoid reading reviews, and wait till I get it and hear with virgin ears (can I say that?)
but I peeked and read your review of Disc 2 and I'm glad I did! Thanks for all the beautiful details, just enough to make those of us who are still waiting for our "Golden Ticket" even more excited. Happy listening to you and to Everyone!
We celebrate the Great Matt Monro!
Mariana is so cute, asking you for reviews of her most wanted songs!
