I agree - this is a job for Sundazed since they have released several gems
from
the Warner Bros catalog. My only guess that all the rights are in legal limbo,
tapes are missing etc.
I have a CD-R copy of a bootleg called "Carnival Of Sound" which was a 1968
all-Jan project that Warners rejected - lots of great stuff and a nice
progression from his productions for Liberty. Amazing he could have put
something together only a year or two after the accident.
