When EMI collapsed in 2011 Matt’s catalogue was split between Universal and Warner Music. The Rare Monro and Matt Uncovered had to be deleted and Warner took the decision that they would combine the material they owned into a 3CD set. This therefore contains Non Capitol material from the two releases “The Rare Monro” & “Matt Uncovered – The Rarer Monro” with the addition of “Love Story” & “Bound For Texas”. Material from “Rare Monro” is newly transferred and remastered
