Matt Uncovered – The Rarer Monro

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 618268) EMI (UK), 1960s/Early 70s — Condition: New Copy

A treasure trove of obscure tracks from the great Matt Monro – just the sort of material that's made us always want to dig deeper in his catalog over the years! Matt's probably best known for some key soundtrack themes and a few big chart numbers – but he's a hell of a singer, and a great interpreter of a really wide range of material – easily hitting the 60s heights of America vocalists like Jack Jones, Vic Damone, or Tony Bennett – all of whom share the mature, masculine qualities that make Matt's recordings so great. This smashing set is filled with gems we've never seen before on other reissues – not just obscure tracks, but different edits, early versions, and even a few commercials too. There's an insane 66 songs in all – including "Amor Amor Amor", "Once In Every Long & Lonely While (early version)", "Choose (unedited)", "Time To Go", "One Last Try", "I Apologize", "Day By Day", "Younger Than Springtime", "Easier Said Than Done", "The Clouds Will Soon Roll By", and "A Few Tender Words" – plus jingles for "Teem", "Macleans Toothpaste", "Makintosh's Weekend", "Zal", and "Newport Cigarettes" – and even a cool Kenny Everett take on "We're Gonna Change The World".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
