The Ultimate Performer- Odeon Entertainment
This deluxe DVD/CD set released to the market on the 16 February 2009 includes Matt on TV, a look back at Matt Monro’s finest television performances highlighting 23 full songs and introduced by Matt Monro Jnr.
There has been a long wait for these performances but now it all seems worthwhile as for the first time ever the market will see appearances, some of which haven’t been seen since their first airing. If that wasn’t enough this bumper set is being packaged together with An Evening With Matt Monro, a full-length black and white Australian concert, which has been remastered and enhanced from the original source.
If any of you originally bought this DVD when it first came out in 2005, you will see a marked improvement in the quality with the advent of new techniques and restoration methods.
To round it all off Odeon Entertainment have also included a 14 track audio disc featuring Matt’s legendary concert from Manila.
