Product Description Jan Berry and Dean Torrence rode a wave of popularity in the early '60s that earned the So-Cal duo more than a dozen Top 40 hits, including the #1 smash "Surf City." The group's good fortune came to a tragic halt in 1966 when Berry suffered debilitating injuries in a car accident near Dead Man's Curve, a treacherous road that, ironically, was the subject of one of the group's earlier hits. As he battled tirelessly to recover, Berry spent the next three years recording songs for a new Jan and Dean album to be titled Carnival of Sound. Despite the quality of the music, the album was never released and became one of rock 'n' roll's lost treasures, until now. This single CD contains 29 songs, including mono and stereo mixes of the album along with bonus tracks from the 1966-68 sessions. Track listing: 1. Girl, You're Blowing My Mind 2. Mulholland 3. Fan Tan 4. Carnival Of Sound 5. Laurel And Hardy 6. I Know My Mind 7. Love And Hate 8. Tijuana 9. Hawaii 10. Louisiana Man 11. Stay 12. Only A Boy 13. In The Still Of The Night 14. Yakety Yak 15.

CD ReviewsGreat production, not so great compositions. Chris Frohring | Cleveland, OH USA | 05/28/2010 (3 out of 5 stars) ""Carnival Of Sound" is the LP Jan Berry was working on during his rehabilitation from a very serious car accident, which had remained unreleased until recently. Berry was a noteworthy producer/performer that toiled in the shadow of Brian Wilson. Berry's style at times reminds the listener of a more conventional, less-inspired Wilson or Curt Boettcher. The stand-out track is "Girl, You're Blowing My Mind", the opener. However, the songs get less interesting over the span of the disc. The production is of the period (lots of sitar in strange settings) and enjoyable in retrospect, but the songs are not on par with the ambition on display in the arrangements. One treads carefully when critiquing the disc as it is an amazing feat for Berry to have produced this under those circumstances, but I can't help but be disappointed when the Jan & Dean signature concept LP contains "Tijuana", a re-write of "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena". The good news is that, despite its hefty price, the set contains a plethora of alternate versions and mixes for the collector."
