The LP recording I have has Spike Jones narrating the story, and some of the pieces he really puts me into ecstatics. He twists up the ending: Don Jose never becomes a bullfighter to challange Escamillo to a duel by bullfighting in the real opera. Carmen gets what's coming to her ,for destroying Don Jose's pride, dignity and respect.
thank you! I didn't know this version.
I'm working on a spike Jones revival.

@Goldberg1337 It's listed on Spike Jones: the man who murdered music. Quite a few hard to find songs here.

@keithm1138 Is it currently available on any Spike Jones albums on CD? Most of the time it's hard to find anything more than best of compilations.

Actually this has been released a few years back. It was one of Spike's projects that wasn't released until after his death.
