Carnival 521 "It's Everything About You That I Love" is their finest moment for me. Haven't got a clip I'm afraid, but a brilliant record, well worth investigating for those not familiar with it.

Soul-slider Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 At last I can ask my Carnival question! Pretty sure a mate (who I'm no longer in contact with) did me a tape of 'Carnival' recordings several years ago...some unissued and I'm sure there was one called 'Erase And Replace' (male vocal) from the vaults.....Can't find the tape but I really loved this tune, was It a Carnival unissued track?

Wasn,t Phil Terrell I'll Erase you(from my heart) b/w I,m just a young boy on Carnival 513,tho' not unisuued,remember Carlisle's Danny Spiers playing this many moons ago at a local soul nite & sounded great,also other side young boy is good aswell,fantastic label Regards,Arthur.

Definitely not Phil Terrell, I have that on 45. Faster and with breaks I remember, may not be a Carnival track but it was definitely unreleased.
Dave Moore Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Great feature Dave! It really impresses me when people do this kind of work. It's so important for the future to get the history of labels artists etc. Thank You Sir! I agree wholeheartedly.

Djr Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) THE LOVETTES..I NEED A GUY Great tune. I love this label, as the production is just fantastic. Last year I bought a beat up copy of Barbara Brown's "Forget Him" at a flea market and even through all the noise it sounded good to my ears. Edited June 6, 2008 by djr
Platters 81 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Great tune. I love this label, as the production is just fantastic. Last year I bought a beat up copy of Barbara Brown's "Forget Him" at a flea market and even through all the noise it sounded good to my ears.the other sides good too "so in love".....arent the Manhattans on backing vocals on this 45?
Jimmy A Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 WHATS IT GONNA BE - THE MANHATTANS did have leon & the metronomes - catch you on the rebound but cant find it...must have flogged it
Anoraks Corner Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 This one is well worth a visit...quality Northern! A case of bootlegged before it had actually made an impact? The sound reproduction is so much clearer on an original too. I've got an original studio acetate for the Jimmy Jules number, but not worth scanning as it has no label!
Kev Cane Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Manhattans-Baby I,m sorry-Carnival Great thread Baz, lots of great contributions, impossible to choose a fave Carnival record because of the depth and quality of the output, this one though is right up there for me though, the lead singer George Smith who tragically died in 1970 is one of my all time favourite vocalists.
