Matt Monro Yesterday

Matt's memorable performance on 2nd January 1966 at the prestigious Araneta Coliseum in Manila marking his farewell to the Philippines after a record-breaking five day run in front of capacity crowds of 24,000 nightly - the biggest audience of his career smashing Nat Cole's previous record at the venue of 22,000

Matt Monro Yesterday

Post by Administrator » Tue Apr 01, 2008 9:13 pm

Night Owl are releasing the live concert from the Philippines on 7th April. Please share your thoughts and comments with everybody.
This is the first live concert to come out since the DVD Matt at the Movies. Obviously quite different from a studio recording, do you think it was worth rescuing?

We think anything live of Matt's will be worth rescuing, and we are really looking forward to this live concert from 1965, and the bonus tracks as an extra treat. Can't wait for this one Michele. :lol: :lol:

Still no sign of "Yesterday" anywhere this morning, but Play.com are now advertising "Matt Monro Sings" as being "in stock," so hopefully we should be getting our copies within a few days. :wink:

I got an email today from HMV to say they don't yet have "Matt Monro Sings," so I have cancelled with them and re-ordered from Play.com.

I see someone is selling "Matt Monro Sings" on ebay for £4.99 plus £1.50 postage. They probably pre-ordered a stack from Play.com and are now offering them at a nice little profit!
