Well I just recieved my 3CD copy of this KOP and I have to say Carousel is still having a strange start. Just like the cut the intro or something... The rest of the song is great. Does any of you know how long the original version of Carousel has to be or if they really still cut the intro or something? Because Carousel & Rock with you (original LP version) are the only reasons I bought this CD.

Thanks for information.

1 / there are no 3 covers for KOP FRENCH EDITION. designers worked on a first version (billie jean live) rejected by someone who is said to work for "michael's interests" (lol). a second version was created (bad tour pic) but the final (casual black or white pose picture) was chosen. that was a hectic process, needless to say.

2 / Carousel released on KOP French and Italy editions has a shorter instrumental bridge section. the version that is online at Michael Sembello's official website is the full version (long instrumental break) but Lo-Fi quality.

3 / Rock With You Original LP Version was only released on CD in Japan in 1984 (on a very basic and first generation CD). This track is now available on a remastered set (and fans won't have to spend USD 150 + to get that mix on CD).
