Also,DO NOT buy vinyl singles from anybody JUST so they can press a "gray" CD
of "Don't Stop The Carnival". They are borderline bootleggers! (If you MUST have
the actual vinyl record,that's another matter.)
EMI currently owns the rights to Laurie Records masters. NOBODY has ever re-issued The Sound Investment recordings on CD or download.

I demand to know why in the hell their main song, "Don't Stop The Carnival", was
removed.
That song is UNAVAILABLE anywhere except for a couple of VINYL copies,and therefore is considered Fair Use.
I am a former Houstonian who was a teenager in the Sixties,and have memories
of hearing that song on KNUZ (or maybe even KFMK,KRBE) or something.
Thought that "Don't Stop The Carnival" had an organ part similar to Jackie Wilson's "I'll Be Satisfied"? LOL!

Hey guys!! I cannot believe my ears....Yes its me Toni Robberts once married to Ray. He was such a goof. I loved him to death I really think we were just way too young. Hey Ray if you are out there You still rock in my eyes..Hey Blackie, how are you and what have you been up to??

thanks for the post. yes we both went to Rayburn (69 graduates). sadly, curt took his own life in the mid-70's. Me (mike bleike) and the rest of The Sound Investment got back together in the 90's as Blackie and The Bullets..several videos of that reincarnation posted here. yes, most of us are still alive and kicking. looking forward to 40th SR reunion Aug 22 at South Shore Harbor.
