Yes mine has arrived too Karl.
Just had a very quick flick through, looks very good, only "Somewhere" from The Mike Walsh Show is not on the dvd as stated in the booklet or on the main site. This was a clip I believed was shown at the second Fans Reuinted meet up, and was wonderful. Also "Born Free from The Pebble Mill at One from 1984" is from Saturday Night at the Mill from 1978/9 which is a medley that is on the Matt On TV dvd.
Just also noticed "For Once In My Life" from the Des O Connor show is also not on the dvd, but the duet is.

John I hate it when they get the tracks wrong, surely they know what's going to be included. Looks like the sleeve is printed before the dvd is. Richard won't be happy!


They used to be bad at that with some LP's and put a sticker over with the correct sequence.

Yes, but the back sleeve with the track listing is correct with the dvd Karl, and I have noticed it is only 64 minutes plus 2 bonus tracks, which would take it to just over 70 minutes, yet it states on amazon and odeon it is 90 minutes. Something is definitely amiss. I am really disappointed "Somewhere " is not on it.

We have just had an e-mail to say ours has been dispatched.
That's definitely a disappointment not having " Somewhere " on there John.
I remember it was one of the memorable highlights of that meet-up.

John I noticed the timing was well out from Amazon to the actual dvd.

We can vent our woes when we review it! :lol:

Of course we're lucky. I might console myself for now and watch PJ Proby's video of "Somewhere" whether he splits his trousers or not. You know...make do and mend. :wink:

Courier delivery Robert. They emailed to say it would be delivered that day. Fantastic service as I only ordered it on Saturday.

You think I'm cross? Michele will be livid! It's a good job she is at sea at the moment or there would be green smoke above Telford.

My copy hasn't come through yet so I had no idea. I will e-mail Odeon and find out what's gone wrong.

I watched the dvd tonight (and have reviewed it on Amazon), it is fantastic., I was so impressed with the sound infact I had to turn it down twice and the musicians - wow! they are amazing.

Younger fans of Matt will be enthralled by these dvd's as they were too young to remember, all the footage is new to me also although I do remember some of Matt's tv appearances.

You can see the change in Matt on later appearances, I thought during the Harty interview he did not look a well man but the voice never altered.

Matt's live version of We're Gonna Change The World is so good it's almost like the record, that is one of my all-time favourites from Matt

Good sleeve notes too although Petula became Clarke and Matt has a new name of Matt Mono, by the way can anyone confirm if that is Solomon King in the picture with Matt & Des O'Connor? If so I remember seeing Solomon coming out of the stage door the first time I saw Dusty prior to me going in for an autograph.


Thanks to all concerned for making this dvd available.

Yes, I agree Karl, although so far only had chance to watch half of it so far, up to The Rolf Harris Show. Wonderful to see new footage and Matt of course singing superbly throughout. I will leave a proper review when I have watched the whole dvd.
