Matt Monro - For The Present (1973) + The Other Side Of The Stars (1975) [2LP on 1CD, 2004]

Matt Monro was a regular feature of the British singles charts between 1960 and 1965, after which he had only one other UK hit (And you smiled, a top thirty entry in 1973, not released on an original album, only on compilations). Despite the lack of hits, Matt's music remained popular with adult audiences. So there are none of Matt's own hits on the two albums presented here, but you'll find plenty of familiar (and not-so-familiar) songs via Matt's covers of pop songs from the sixties and early seventies, as well as older songs from the Great American Songbook.

The first album, For the present, dates from 1973 and includes First of May (one of my favorite Bee Gees songs), Michelle (the Beatles classic that provided the Overlanders with their only hit) and Singing in the rain, an old movie song that provided Cliff Edwards with an American number one hit in 1929. Elsewhere on the album, the songs are not so familiar but they are equally interesting. Among them are Didn't we (written by Jimmy Webb, who achieved fame via hits he provided for Glen Campbell and others), I am (written by prolific songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway who wrote may famous sixties hits, but this wasn't one of them) and other songs that suit Matt ideally such as Till then my love and Sarah's coming home.

The second album (Other side of the stars) is actually Matt's tribute to other stars, these being Nat King Cole (Let there be love), Louis Armstrong (What a wonderful world), Cliff \Edwards and Al Bowlly (When you wish upon a star, which Cliff sang as Jimmy Cricket in Disney's Pinocchio movie, but Al had the American hit version), Judy Garland (Over the rainbow), Billie Holiday (For all we know - this is NOT the identically-titled song that the Carpenters recorded), Al Jolson (Let me sing and I'm happy), Mario Lanzo (Be my love), Glenn Miller (Chattanooga choo-choo), Jim Reeves (I love you because - Jim had the British hit and it's his version that inspired Matt), Edith Piaf (No regrets), Frank Sinatra (You're sentimental) and Maurice Chevalier (I'm not young anymore).

Matt may have been past his commercial peak by the time these albums were originally released, but they contain a lot of great music. Matt died in the eighties but his music remains popular and this re-issue is a must for all of Matt's committed fans, while it is likely to provide much pleasure to anybody who loves top quality easy listening pop music.
