From the Stacks: Carmel – More, More, More (12″ single)

The band is still out there, touring Europe and making new music.  You can visit them here:  http://www.carmelofficialmusic.com.

As for this 12″ single, I can’t even find a copy for sale.  My guess is that if you stumble across it you won’t pay more than a couple of bucks.  Happy hunting.

    That is a tasty treat. As I’ve mentioned on my own blog, I grew up listening to the sounds of the 50’s and 60’s (among other music). After hearing this song, I did a little digging and found their catalog on iTunes. By the way, listen to their cover of “Track of My Tears.”
