Also released on CD as part of the EMI Music For Pleasure “Matt Monro Sings†Double Disc MFP cat no: CD-DL 1072.
Unfortunately no longer part of the EMI/MFP CD catalogue in it's original form, as far as I can discover, this for me is one of the truly great concept LPs ever released, matching a cohesive set of song selections with some of the finest renderings of same put on vinyl.
Georgia On My Mind has an emotive quality that doesn't for one second descend into the sentimental, in a reading that is just as compelling as that made more famous by Ray Charles. And as for I Get Along Without You Very Well, I personally feel this is the definitive version of this song, the combination of Matt and Johnnie Spence even surpassing the sublime Frank Sinatra/Nelson Riddle version of same.
The albums importance to the Hoagy Charmichael legacy was recognised in 1986 when it was deposited by the Carmichael Family at the Indiana Archives of Traditional Music in 1986.
