Carnival Of Excess: Limited Edition is a limited edition reissue of the album Carnival Of Excess, recorded by notorious punk rock performance artist GG Allin with one-time studio group The Criminal Quartet. This release, which contains the previously unreleased original mixes of the songs that Allin heard before he left Florida (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 an unidentified announcer and excerpts from a phone conversation with Allin about the album. Unlike many other GG Allin recordings, this one has better production and sound quality.
