Theres a Song in the Air

• Track Listing

(2-CD set) As Montgomery Fyffe he appeared in many prestigious London venues such as the Albert Hall and the Wigmore Hall. CD2 includes all the songs Monte recorded under the Fyffe name, but finally by 1934 he had become the Monte Rey that we all remember so well! Joining Geraldo after a series of successful radio shows he stayed with him until 1939 alongside working with Joe Loss until 1941. During this period Monte also undertook a series of recordings for transmission by Radio Luxembourg which comprise arguably his finest body of work. We present 27 examples of this fine work on CD1. Our final selections for this wonderful Avid Easy release feature five Scottish songs including a glorious live version of Annie Laurie.
