Merry Christmas to you too Yari!

Born Free contains the Majority of the material (save for the newly remastered versions of Polka Dots and Moonbeams and Christmas Magic) that the estate has licenced to 'One Media' for internet downloads. They in turn have sub-licenced the material to the Delta Music Groups 'Performance' Label.

The set consists of three sets of live recordings. The Australian concert soundtrack (as featured on the Odeon DVD's) - Previously released on Not Now Music's "Matt Monro Sings", As much as could be salvaged from the 1983 Manila concert (Three tracks of which were previously issued on Yesterday by Night Owl records) but incuding several tracks that were previpusly unreleased. Also some recordings live with Johnnie Spence in 1961 - all of which are previously un-released.

The Manila and Johnny Spence tracks were remastered by yours truely.

My Major bugbear with the set is that the order is Australia 67, Manila 83 then back to 1961 for the Johnnie Spence tracks which is odd!

Other than that it does have a pretty dreadful cover!

I think the cover is quite acceptable Richard and certainly better than that awful picture of Matt in the red sweater which has made so many appearances all over the world for more than 40 years. This CD will certainly be added to my own collection. However, I must say Richard, that your contribution to the MM site is magnificent and we are fortunate to have someone of your expertise and knowledge amoungst us. Keep up the good work in 2010.
The voice of Matt Monro is part of my life. I take his music with me wherever I go.
