1. Invitation to Broadway
2. Matt Monro Sings The Standards
3. The Late Late Show
4. We're Gonna Change The World
5. Memories

We will look forward to seeing your favourites from either your LP or CD collection :D :D

Ooo good question!

For Studio albums my favourite would have to either

These Years

or

The Late Late Show, both are so cool and offer a great iconic image of Matt.

However I do love the cover to Yesterday-The Malina Concert as well as The Singles Collection, both really looked great, Yesterday truly had a superb shot of Matt and The Singles Collection was so retro.

Hmmm.. with the one's in my Dad's collection that I found my favourites would be:

Here's To My Lady
This Is The Life
Walk Away (on Liberty)

Then on the ones that I don't have but am looking for:

Hits of Yesterday (I think this would make a great t-shirt!, I'd wear it proud just like my Morrisey, Bowie and Bay City Rollers shirts.)

Sings Hoagy Carmichael. Love the background and Matt in the red polo shirt looking really relaxed! That would make a great t-shirt also!

I have always liked the cover of the 3 CD set Songs of Love...............Matt wearing a brown cardigan this time, looking out to the sea :)
"My Tears Will Fall Now That You're Gone,
I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On" :(

Here are my other faves--no order-

The Impossible dream
Yesterday--the Manila concerts
Blue and Sentimental
Love is the same anywhere.

Ooo yes Words and Music is great, love the colour scheme and the photo of Matt is a great choice, I love it when there's a mic in his hand.
