Carnival Of Excess: Limited Edition is a limited edition reissue of the album Carnival Of Excess, recorded by notorious punk rock singer-songwriter and musician GG Allin with one-time studio group The Criminal Quartet. This release, which contains previously unreleased mixes of the songs from the original album (with one exception, "Outskirts Of Life", which used the mix from the original 1996 release), was issued in limited editions of 100 white vinyl albums and 1200 compact discs. Added to the original release is a mock-commercial for the album featuring Tiny Tim and excerpts from a phone conversation with Allin about the album. Unlike many other GG Allin recordings, this release featured songs in the vein of country music, many of them acoustics.
