I've heard "I Know" sung by Tom Jones also.....A very moving song & I can't wait to hear Matt sing it.
Michele's newsletter in May will hopefully have the Song List for us patiently waiting.
I've heard Matt's version of "Without a Song" & he really sounds more like a swinging Sinatra, than Como's slower version.

Did you hear Matt singing Without a song a while ago or more recently - The only version we have is missing a small section at the beginning!

I'm writing the news letter for may as Michele is aboard ship once more and finding internet access even more difficult than before, but as I mentioned elsewhere, even though we hope to bring you the full track list, until I get full clearence it will be difficult.

Wow, if Matt is singing Perry Como songs, my Dad's gonna be in for an extra special treat with the upcoming cd! Dad loves Perry Como also and plays his music around the house a lot!! Hmm with the release of the new cd, I just may not tell him about it and when it comes out I'll just spring it on him just like he used to do with me by giving me a new record when he came home from work when I was a kid.

That's a super idea to give your Dad Eman. I'm sure he will be thrilled!

If you don't get all the clearances sorted Richard, will you be able to let us know what some of the tracks are going to be?

Richard--My copy of "Without a Song" is also missing the first line.....Too bad! Matt does such a great job as usual!

Thanks Henry - Maybe one day a complete version will turn up!

Mike - I will be giving you as much info as I can. It's a real headache because it's the only news this month!

I downloaded 'I Know" from itunes a while back. Terrible remaster / non-remaster. It does mean you can check out a preview of it. So much looking forward to Richard's work on it.

Yes that whole 'Early Years' release on itunes is pretty badly done. The new disc will contain all of the tracks featured on that apart from the fontana material as that is already out in better quality on the singles collection.

'I know' has still been mastered from disc (The tapes disapeared many many years ago) but sounds pretty much like a tape source now.

One other song I heard that Matt sang was "I Suddenly" which I had never heard before, & it was very nice!
Will that be on the "Rarer Monro", Richard??
