[kelvyn]

Havn't posted for a while, but I thought this was interesting....

Did you see how much these are going for !!!!!

e-bay, carinaroundmerch $41, $76 and a whopping $91!!!!

some price! 200 are going up for sale, I've only seen three... any of you lot bought one?

She must be short of cash, perhaps she needs to tap up Mr Stewart. Come home Carina I'll sub you a few quid.

Nope, but I read about them on Myspace. I can be patient and wait for Slow Motion to eventually turn up here. I wonder why it's not for sale here!

unfortunately its STILL not available officially anywhere!!!!

There are promo copies available on ebay that are exactly the same as the official CD will be - so if you want the music now then i'd go there.

As for the Hand Made CDs - all i can say is WOW How much?! Especially when they are $10 at the shows - but then again $91 is cheaper than a flight to LA especially now that i'm in Australia LMAO

I remember when these were sold on eBay but I don't remember the track list.

I have a 'hand made' CD bought during Carina's stint with The Cinematics (2007). The tracks are...

01 - Gunshot
02 - Want More (alternate version)
03 - Gravity Lies (Pink Pussy Cat remix)
04 - How Many Times (acoustic version)
05 - Body Shaped Bruise

Were those the tracks on the eBay CDs?

Also, while I'm here, a few more questions...

Does "Hookah" appear anywhere besides the Into My Blood EP?

What can anyone tell me about the unreleased(?) song titled "Luna"?

Is "Four To The Floor" unreleased?

Does Carina appear on Ryan Adams' song "Karina"?

Is there a studio recording of Adams' "Come Pick Me Up" that features Carina?

Is Carina on Ryan Adams' song titled "Idiot Dance"?

Where does "Same Girlfriend" come from? I know it's a SMA track but I've seen it referenced as the last track on the album and as a 'B-side' to (maybe) "Come To You" or "Stolen Car". My SMA has "The City" as the last track. Likewise, the official site lists "The City" as the last track.

Is the song "Back Seat" a Carina composition?

I've also heard there is a released live version of Carina doing Etta James' "Damn Your Eyes". Is this released?

Finally, there are some posts on the carinaround.com forum about early/alternate mixes/take of SMA songs that initially appeared on carinaround.com. I seem to remember that the current songs (and the CD) sound different to what I initially heard on the site. Were different versions originally found on her site?

Many, many thanks in advance for any input.

i think i can answer some of these but my forte is more the live shows rather than the studio recordings ;D

No - those tracks are;

Come To You (from Slow Motion Addict)
Stolen Car (Alternate Electronic Version)
Slow Motion Addict (Remix by Tom Livemore)
Ready To Confess (Acoustic Version featuring Dave Stewart on slide guitar)
The Disconnection (Acoustic Version recorded live in space)

No. I think it was originally planned to be on The Disconnection and was being rerecorded as part of the early SMA studio work. There are quite a few live recordings of it. That EP is also the only place to find Body Shaped Bruise

chazz said:

An early live favourite not official released but there is a studio recording that is mainly in the hands of family

chazz said:

I think it was released on one Miles' solo albums

chazz said:

Does Carina appear on Ryan Adams' song "Karina"?

No - but the song is clearly about Carina

chazz said:

Not that i know of - they have preformed it live a few times together and there are live recordings around

chazz said:

The song was written by both of them before a Birmingham Ronnie Scotts gig (1st May 2001) and they have performed it live together a few times with Carina performing it solo three times - there are live recordings of both instances

It was recorded as part of the SMA recordings and was originally to go on the album but didnt make it. The promos also have The City as the last track. I dont think its ever made it out officially or unoffically? Shame as i think its one of the best tracks from those sessions. Very powerful with Carina doing the backing vocals as well.

chazz said:

Is the song "Back Seat" a Carina composition?

Yes - shes done it recently during her LA shows. There are live recordings around of it - including its first airing

chazz said:

Not officially. There is a studio recording from her early days but its never been officially recorded - although it may have been on a tape that was sent out early in her career to those that subscribed to her mailing list. There is at least one live version of the song around but again few people have a copy of that show - mostly family i understand

There is also a video of her performing it in London at the Monarch on 20 Feb 2001 along with Lightbulb Song and Let It Fall. These was released on an Animal Noise EPK in Feb 2001 and also features a live acoustic version of How I See It and an interview before the Monarch show. Not sure how many copies of that EPK are around now though

Not sure but there were quite a few over a month period - some came out on the ebay CD. I'd be interested in a list if someone made one as they appeared

I've seen pics of the cds and they are definitely great collector's items.

For those who didn't have the money or luck getting one of them is there going to be a chance to get the one or other track as a download somewhere or listen to a stream?

I myself e.g. love Dave Stewart's guitar play and would be very happy to have a chance to listen to the acoustic version of Ready To Confess.

Thanks.

I.

I too would love a listen to this, really! Any chance?
I don't think I was even addicted to her music at that point, just a casual listener and I seem to have missed out. Alternate versions (rather than remixes) really fascinate me and I'd love to hear. On Tease & Sting there's an acoustic version of Ready To Confess--is it the same? I've heard the Stolen Car version with electronics; it's cute-ish, but I like the live Interface session better.
I think the ep Chazz has sounds even more exciting!
