We may have received ours qucker because it was part of a double order and we had already been sent part of it.
Well we've watched the DVD, and right now listening to the CD.

We watched the DVD and like John, we loved it also. It was nice to see and hear Matt singinging those classic songs that he had made his own one after the other.
We enjoyed the interview, and Matt's dry wit and natural cockney humour is all a part of what has endeared him to his millions of worldwide fans.
It was a nice treat to see him singing "Curiouser And Curiouser" in his usual relaxed stlye, and to sing "Thanks" just by himself on this occasion.
The Leslie Crowther, Cilla, And Matt, slot brought back some nice memories.
The CD is just wonderful, and no doubt one of our favourites of them all, but then how could it not be, with the talented combination of the great band leader Ted Heath and his Orchestra and the incomparable Matt Monro., and the same goes for The Johnny Spence orchestra.
Every track is just superb, and difficult to pick out a favourite, but these Three songs alone are examples of Matt's vocal talent "Stardust" has that breathtakingly long final note, .."Let's Face The Music " has that familiar Monro upbeat swing and "Gone With he Wind " has that velvety tender emotion that few can master in the same way.
The liner notes have the very nice picture of Matt on the front, and Michele has once again made the contents very informative and interesting, and it's particularly nice to see the artist, composer and the dates of these tracks on the CD.
We of course also have to thank Richard Moore for his skill and the time and effort that he spends remastering these product that give us so much pleasere.
We are truly grateful and happy to be able to add this treasured package to our collection.
