When I was listening to Maria on the excellent Through The Years compilation I noticed some guitars playing triplets in the instrumental interlude. The guitars are quite striking and add to the excitement of the recording. But I can't hear them on The Late Late Show CD.

I've mentioned it previously, but I would love to have a CD of alternate recordings of the Matt Monro hits, i.e., different takes. I've heard that he recorded many of these songs in one take. But there must be some alternate takes available. I believe When Love Comes Along on The Rare Monro sounds a little different than the version on my hits compilation. It would be great to have an entire album of these alternate versions. This would be for the real fans, and EMI may not be interested in such a project.
