Carry Me Home

With all this talk about "WIBNTLA" it seems "Carry Me Home" has been forgotten for possible inclusion on the box set.
Id love to hear a clean re-mixed, mastered version though the bootleg we have is great.
Don't think Ive ever heard Dennis's voice so upfront and raw, just an incredible performance, one of may fav Dennis songs. The ending and verses are just killer with a great vocal from Blondie too.
The lyrics like "My eyes gettin' tired, I guess I won't grow old" and the end part..jesus...
Please God, please God
Don't take my life
Please
please help me
gives me goosebumps...
Hopefully Mike does not consider it too much of a "downer" to include on the boxset.

I thought Blondie did a helluva job too. Obviously Dennis thought he was the man for the job and he pulled it off wonderfully. The song has been included on wish lists on this board and others over the years. I've been all for a formal release of it since I first heard it on a bootleg in the early 80's.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

There's a great live version on Adam Marsland's Dennis&Carl tribute CD, as well.

I think one of the magazines described it as 'overwrought' which fits well. Hopefully it will appear on the box set though.

I think........if I remember right.......that Toni Tennille sang on this one too. Is that a yay or nay?

Overwrought is a word that springs to my mind when I hear this song. To be honest the sound quality on the boot doing the rounds is so bad I can't decide if I like the song or not. It would be nice to own a proper version.

Thanks, that does sound better backing track wise but the vocals still have a weird reverb to them that I'm not sure they're meant to.

I really hate to be a pessimist here (no, really!) but if this song came up for consideration at all for MIC, I think Mike would veto it. Just based on history and he being the reason WIBNTLA was rejected from previous releases - hell, if they couldn't get the even better "WIBNTLA" through, I doubt Mike would have his thumbs up for the release of "Carry Me Home".

Basically there should be a new rarities comp so that the unMikeable music such as Carry Me Home, My Obsession, Mona Kani, Out In The Country etc. can be released properly. We might have to wait a bit extra for that.

they could sticker it "unauthorised by Mike Love"
If im going on the Adam Marsland version (which is great btw), I still think carry me home is probably a better song...though of course I cant say for sure...yet

Both songs are great. I think because of the recording quality alone and not considering how good the actual songs are, WIBNTLA is the more releasable song. We know WIBNTLA is more 'finished' and of much better quality than "Carry Me Home", which we've only heard in pretty much demo form so far. Not sure if CMH is finished to completion - Dennis isn't around to tell us. And CMH would require a lot of clean-up before its formal release.

Based on what? I've said it before but the fact is that every rarity album that the band has released from Ten Years of Harmony onwards has featured material from Dennis. That has sometimes included very dark stuff like All Alone and has sometimes been when almost no other unreleased songs have been there (Hawthorne and Summer Love Songs). TWOTS wasn't a rarities album which is the key difference.
Also, I would be surprised if Mike were concerned about there being a few rare Dennis songs on the box set as I would expect there to be a lot more songs on MiC with Mike writing credits than there were on the 1993 set (and not because of the songwriting lawsuit). There are probably a good 15-20 songs that could contenders for inclusion this time that were omitted in 1993.

Based on my opinion.
Again, disregarding the songwriting and singing, I'm talking about the
audio quality
of the song. WIBNTLA is much closer to release than "Carry Me Home". Unless thay come up with another tape/version of the song, or undergo extensive clean-up. I love "Carry Me Home" Always have. I'd love to see it released! But that isn't the point. I'd love very much to see "Back Home" '63 released too, but I understand the audio quality isn't up to par, even though it sounds finished. Or even the alternate version of "Add Some Music". I think "Big Sur" (4/4) is ready to go without much touch-up......

Obviously. But like Woody said at the top of the thread, the concern is that "Carry Me Home" will possibly be considered a downer to Mike. Mr. Positivity isn't into downers. He's into meditation.
Nice talkin' witcha today, Nick.

And you know this, how? If any of them have any pride in their work, then they all care. It may not be Mike who makes the the final call, but if he is unhappy with the way a song sounds, I'm sure he will speak his peace about it to Brian, the producers, etc.

Because if the sound quality isn't judged to be good enough then the compilers will make that call.

Plenty of downers appeared on the 1993 set didn't they including Still I Dream Of It and It's Over Now?
I just think it's a bit much for you to already be blaming Mike for vetoing a song which may or may not be available in good enough quality to be included on the box set and even if it is the compilers may choose not to include it themselves. Or just maybe it will make an appearance.

I'm sure the mastertapes of Carry Me Home are fine. The boot just seems to have all the faders up, so there's tonnes of talking and coughing and doors slamming. Why are we saying the boot quality is in anyway indicative of what a fully mastered version, properly mixed and edited, would sound like? Half of Smile wouldn't be released on that condition.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.
