Comedy legend George Carlin, who died in 2008, recorded a special in 2001 which is now due for vinyl release.
The album, I Kinda Like It When A Lotta People Die, was considered too dark for release at the time.
To demonstrate, this line is one taken from the recording: “Another nice thing about tornadoes. No-one can find their cat.”
Carlin decided to re-edit and change much of the material, which he eventually released as his 12th special Complaints & Grievances.
Fifteen years after its debut, MPI Media Group will release the unedited special for the first time.
I Kinda Like It will be available on September 16 digitally, on CD and in a limited edition vinyl release.
In addition to the unreleased material, I Kinda Like It also includes rare material by a very young Carlin from 1957 and interviews with the comedian’s manager Jerry Hamza and Rocco Urbisci, who directed 10 of Carlin’s 14 HBO specials.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
