Carnival of Sound - Official Release on Rhino Handmade

[Admin]

Welcome to the new board . . .

At long last . . . Carnival of Sound will be officially released by Rhino Handmade in early 2010.

A 1 CD / 1 LP set . . . with plenty of bonus tracks and extensive liner notes.

Let's talk about it . . .

[Mark A. Moore]

The project is in good hands — and it's coming along nicely.

Cool,

CD and an LP sounds like a winner.
Thanks Mark for the update.
How many versions of "blowin my mind" can we expect???
Any Jan Berry banter on the extended cuts???
Is it all Mono???
Take Care  Burton

[Mark A. Moore]

Bonus tracks will include stereo mixes, and alternate takes.

Mark,

Does Dean have input on this project?
Like many fans I can't wait for this. I remember talking to other J&D fans about this like ten years ago. I heard like 5 or so years ago a label was looking at taking a shot at this project but it never happened. Right after the bootleg came out.
One more thing have you Mark heard the whole thing(CD & LP)?  My opinion " blowin my mind " could've and should've been a hit!! I'd like to hear from anyone(on the forum) about this.

Dean is contributing.

I've heard all the tracks, but haven't spun actual vinyl.

The stereo mixes alone are worth whatever the album costs. They really will "blow Your Mind."

Sounds about right . . .

I'm intrigued as to whether the album will feature some of the arrangements you used on the tribute album. The various bootleg versions I've heard don't. The tribute album featured some exciting and adventurous background harmonies. I Know My Mind especially.
Did the original album have any art work? I wasn't sure it ever got that far!

Totally ! Should've been a monster. Fantastic song. I just can't decide which version I like the best....

Some of the Carnival vocal arrangements we used for the tribute album (like "I Know My Mind") were written out on paper by Jan and his team in 1967 and 1968 . . . but were ultimately not used.

Thus, they're unique, but still Jan Berry arrangements authentic to the original project . . . and they were too good to pass up when we were recording the tribute.

Mark, will the early version of "Lousiana man" be on this CD? The one that Dean overdubbed with a killer leadvocal? I think that version seriously kicks some mighty a$$

[David Beard]

Really Looking forward to this. I know it will be great because Mark has been the #1 believer in preserving the Jan Berry legacy. I think my favorite through the years has been "Mulholland."

2010 is getting off to an excellent start.  I'll be getting both the CD and vinyl.  This is a dream come true.
