This is extremely reasonably priced on Amazon. $23.00, is that possible?

Man, three more days. I haven't felt this sense of excitement over a "new" release in years. Arthur Russell posthumous releases come the closest.

Our distro at work said it was filled for our Friday shipment and when it wasn't in the box I was pretty sad.

Arrived with us on Wednesday.
Yes, a 10'' box and booklet.
I haven't opened and listened to one myself yet, but various friends are absolutely raving!

Is 'Deadly Doris' where Die Tödliche Doris got their name from or do both things refer to something else?

i am only two songs in, but i am enjoying this so far.
think that one's Malcolm in fact.

I just read the actual lyrics to Halleluwah, I've listened to it over 40 times and never recognized anything past "Did anyone see the snowman..." besides "Mushroomhead, Oh Yeah, Paperhouse"
― frogbs, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:31 (11 months ago) Permalink
This is totally worth it for Disc One alone. Been jamming that non-stop.
― dronestreet, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:33 (11 months ago) Permalink
I like the live takes, but they don't add much to what was already out there. I kinda prefer the Peel Sessions. :O
I just plunked down for it. Dead Pigeon Suite is awesome, seems like it was cut up and spread throughout Ege Bamyasi in different places.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:38 (11 months ago) Permalink
and never recognized anything past "Did anyone see the snowman..."
Is it "Did anyone see the snowman/walkin' with the Lord"? That's always been my suspicion.
― how's life, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:45 (11 months ago) Permalink

The Mooney tracks Streetcar and Midnight Sky are awesome. There is lot to love on here, damn that Pitchfork reviewer who said it could have been condensed into a single album.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:11 (11 months ago) Permalink
Midnight Men and Graublau are stunning, this isn't mere archive material its Can!
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:16 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeahhh, graublau might be my fave thus far. i mean, yeah, sure they could've just put out a single disc of the highlights, but wtf, i want to hear it all.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:19 (11 months ago) Permalink
I can't look at pitchfork at all anymore. Editing this into a single disc release completely misses the whole point of this release imo.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:20 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeah, basically if jaki liebezeit is playing on it, it's worth hearing.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:21 (11 months ago) Permalink
i would've settled for a 40-disc set of all the tapes, thank you very much.

Around 50/30/20
This box set is a HUGE boost for Malcolm Mooney. I love 'Can Delay 1968' , but most of disc 1 kills stuff on that album, some rivals 'Monster Movie'Mooney's performance on "Bubble Rap" is the best I've heard him. And I've flown his flag since the 1990 Can reissues, when I first got into them.

I love the Malcolm tracks in Unlimited Edition, too.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:24 (11 months ago) Permalink
right, I always disliked Malcolm until I heard Unlimited Ed.
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:25 (11 months ago) Permalink
Huh. Unlimited Ed. was always a malcom debit for me. For me he shines best on Delay. And maybe some day my brain will forget 'Hoolah, Hoolah'.
BTW, speaking of Unlimited Edition. Did it always have that epic length track at the end or was that added for the remasters? I seriously don't remember it from the CD i owned way back when.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:41 (11 months ago) Permalink
it was edited on the earlier cd?
― fit and working again, Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:46 (11 months ago) Permalink
I don't know about Delay...both the "why must I beee the theeeef" and "froggeeee and toadeeee eeet the tangerine seeds, one by one" songs are really grating
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:05 (11 months ago) Permalink
totally worth buying in the format of your choice imoeven though i have listened to it a bagrillion times already, i still get genuinely happy when dead pigeon suite pops up on my ipod while i'm walking

― Jeff "Skink" Baxter (Jon Lewis), Friday, 22 March 2013 16:57 (2 months ago) Permalink
"dead pigeon" is probably my favorite but yeah this is a pretty amazing collection. I don't like some of the avant-garde stuff on disc 1 but almost everything else is ace
kinda neat to have a "lost tapes" boxset that consists of actual lost tapes (not just stuff that wasn't good enough for a studio album)
― frogbs, Friday, 22 March 2013 17:50 (2 months ago) Permalink
yeah this thing is wall-to-wall amazing, a gift that keeps on giving.
― sleeve, Friday, 22 March 2013 19:37 (2 months ago) Permalink
yeah a while ago i listened to it all on spotify and flagged the must-have tracks. It turned out to be like 70% of the collection.
hah, this was exactly my experience as well
― (⊙_⊙?) (Alan N), Friday, 22 March 2013 20:33 (2 months ago) Permalink
Having another listen to this in honor of this thread getting bumped. I think that the ratio of 70% good/30% wtf is about right; but there is about 2 LPs worth of raw, prime-era Can material here which is way more than I was expecting out of something like this. God I love this band.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 18:38 (1 month ago) Permalink
at the part where the 16-minute live "Spoon" kicks up, just hearing the echo of that little shuffle and the keyboards is sending shivers to my brain
― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 18:41 (1 month ago) Permalink
yeah and the audience participation at the start of that spoon is amazing, not really like yr standard "hey everyone clap along" thing but almost as if the band is *playing* the audience.
