New CD - The Greatest

[paul jh]

I still love the name Ethel and the song.

But I think we have identified our first Matt Monro marmite track: Ethel Baby. Are there any others? Perhaps Wednesday's Child?

[Frederick]

I agree with you Jon. I would also question the inclusion of "There's a kind of hush"......"You don't have to say you love me" or even "Don't sleep in the subway" are better showcases for Matt's talent and a strong ballad makes for a better finale than "Never fall in love again". I realise that the album is aimed at those who are not already big Matt fans but I just think there are some strange inclusions if the desired effect is to be achieved. Who actually picks these tracks anyway ?

[ROBERT M.]

The tracks maybe get put into a Lottery type machine, then get picked out at random ................ .................

I don't see it as misleading. The song Impossible Dream WAS featured in the Honda Ad. It may not have been Matt but it was the song.

There is nothing in the listing to say that it was Matt's version so I don't see the problem!(snip)

....and Honda's impossible dream was to win the Forumula 1 world championship ???

[Mark Fox]

Could it have been Andy Williams on the advert?

[cmartin_ok]

Didn't sound like it to me. I thought it was Garrison Keiller (spelling?) himself

edit - however a quick Google suggests that it was indeed Andy Williams on the advert.

Anyone got any cookies?

[ROBERT M.]

I thought everyone knew it was Andy Williams

[ROBERT M.]

The Greatest is still not available for pre-order from either HMV or Amazon yet .....................I think I own all the tracks, but will be watching for the TV ad with baited breath

[Rmoore]

If you own 'I'll never fall in love again' you've done well as it's never been released before!

Plus you get 'This Is The Life' in Stereo and many more from original master tapes for the first time.

[ROBERT M.]

No Richard, I don't have that song.............but I did say, I think I own all the tracks ...........Michele did say The Greatest was mainly for the more casual MM fan, so I presumed all the tracks were "repeats"

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Have just had an email from Amazon to say that "The Greatest " has been shipped to us

[mariana44]

ME TOO !!!

I received my copy this morning from HMV. Great version of 'I'll never fall in love again'.

[Marian]

I have my fingers crossed for the wonder of Woolies, just for old times sake really... I have faith!

I had a message from Amazon as well to say the cd has been posted.
