## Description

Four CD set. In 1971, Matt Monro left Capitol Records as he was unhappy with decisions being made out in the USA. He re-signed with EMI Records and stayed with them for the rest of his career. This set pulls together every single recording made for EMI during that time including both previously released and unreleased out-takes and alternate versions. As a bonus there are also jingles and a pair of previously unheard live recordings from Australia in 1981 featuring songs that Matt never recorded in the studio. When Matt's second EMI LP (released on their Columbia imprint) 'The Other Side Of The Stars' was issued after two years sitting on the shelf, the tapes had, in the most part, only received a rough mix and it was this that made it's way into print. This release sees the whole album (and two other songs from the same sessions) remixed from the 16 track session reels. Previous issues of the albums 'For The Present' and 'The Other Side Of The Stars' have featured tracks taken from vinyl dubs. For this edition they are taken from the original first generation mixdown masters. Remastered from the original master tapes by Richard Moore at Mint Audio. Authorized by Michele Monro and the Matt Monro Estate.

Review: I great collection for those who find themselves "Curiouser and Curiouser". - This is probably a collection for someone who is a big Matt Monro fan and wants to have as much of Matt's catalog as possible. But, I think if you're looking at this, you're probably that type of fan! I've read some of the other reviews and agree this collection is not a "best" of and doesn't represent when Matt was enjoying his biggest chart success BUT... this collection DOES contain some of my favorite Matt Monro performances! Listen to Matt's version of "Singin' in the Rain" which starts off lush and transitions to swinging up-tempo! Matt's version of "Didn't We" is, in my opinion not only THE best version but one of HIS best recordings. "Speak Softly Love" puts Andy Williams to shame and songs like "I Am" and "Curiouser and Curiouser" have me hitting the back button to hear them over and over again. The long and short of it is, there are some fantastic Matt Monro performances and if you're anything more than just a casual fan it is worth picking up for two reasons. The first, is the Monro estate has managed to constantly put out quality releases and that only happens with fan support. The second is I have too often seen some great release come up for one of my favorite artists, where I held off on purchasing just to see those release become unavailable. So get it NOW while you can.
Review: "Some of the most exquisitely beautiful recordings of the century" - When Matt Monro finished his late-60’s Capitol stint for EMI in America, he went home and resumed recording for the conglomerate's UK labels. There he started a difficult decade for easy-listening artists, producing four albums with lousy cover art, mish-mashed track lineups (including vocals from ten years before), and even occasionally careless engineering. Nevertheless, they (along with his non-album singles) included some of the most exquisitely beautiful recordings of the century, as the remastering here by Richard Moore further attests. The impulse to discover and promote the "complete" recordings of deceased entertainers is understandable, but their legacies are better served through curation rather than piling on purposely unreleased tracks that they themselves may have preferred were never heard. (Also, even Matt Monro had a few misfires that did make it out of the studio.) However, for historical reasons this album does serve a purpose, and it's worth wading through some rocky shoals to experience the euphoria bestowed by the vast majority of the tracks.
