Released in 1980, the album came on the heels of a series of highly successful albums Year Of The Cat and Time Passages, which saw the legendary folk-rock musician reach a wider audience and, after adopting a more rock orientated approach, gain top ten success in the USA where he had relocated. Sessions for the album began at Davlen studios in Los Angeles in August 1979 where Al worked on a series of demos of some compositions that would make up the album, and others which would remain consigned to the vaults. When completed in May 1980 the album would feature classic tracks such as 'Running Man', 'Merlin's Time', 'Murmansk Run - Ellis Island' and the US top thirty hit single 'Midnight Rocks'. Upon it's release in August 1980, 24 Carrots would be another American Top Forty hit and would also be a success in other European countries. This 40th anniversary edition of 24 Carrots has been newly expanded from the original first-generation master tapes and includes two rare single mixes previously unreleased on CD and two additional CDs featuring the August 1979 Davlen studios demo sessions (including an early studio version of 'The World Goes to Riyadh') and a CD of live recordings made at Hammersmith Odeon in London in December 1980 on the 24 Carrots tour. The release also includes an illustrated booklet with an exclusive new interview with Al Stewart. This 40th anniversary edition serves as a fine tribute to a fine album and a consummate songwriter and performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Midnight Rocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Constantinople\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Merlin’s Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mondo Sinistro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Murmansk Run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ellis Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rocks In The Ocean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paint By Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Optical Illusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Running Man(Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (Previously Unreleased On Cd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paint By Numbers (Single Version)(Previously Unreleased On Cd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Midnight Rocks(1979 Studio Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Murmansk Run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ellis Island (1979 Studio Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Running Man(1979 Instrumental Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paint By Numbers(1979 Studio Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jackdaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The World Goes To Riyadh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Merlin’s Time(1979 Instrumental Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ringing Of Bells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Running Man (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Time Passages (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Broadway Hotel (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mondo Sinistro (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Roads To Moscow (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On The Border (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Year Of The Cat (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If It Doesn’t Come Naturally Leave It (Live 1980 – Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50445673234706,"sku":"5013929472686","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3863567.jpg?v=1729703371","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/al-stewart-24-carrots-40th-anniversary-edition-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
