Matt Monro – The Man Behind The Music

This is a Bookazine sold primarily through WHSmith and contains a shortened biography including many previously unavailable photographs, a CD containing 20 tracks including 2 tracks new to CD and others that are rare on CD alongside some of Matt’s Greatest Hits

Also bundled with the Bookazine is a reproduction 7” vinyl single of Portrait Of My Love & Your The Top Of My Hit Parade.

14 of the tracks are the remasters from Complete Singles & The Greatest from 2010 the remaining tracks come from the original masters. One from Capitol, Three from EMI and two from the tapes compiled for the Night Owl release “Heart Of A Man”. These two songs (Nice and Easy & S’Wonderful/I Get a Kick Out Of You) were originally subjected to heavy handed noise reduction. This has been rectified for this released.
