I hope so. A lot of labels have been putting out multi-disc box sets for really cheap as of late. I paid less than $20 for the 3-disc Bitch Magnet reissue set and just barely over $20 for the Feedtime 4-disc thing. Its a nice trend.

This is, I'd say, an essential Can artefact and is chock full of amazing stuff. Given that Can haven't had a notable release since I've actually been a fan - something that I'd presume holds true for most people using this board - this is like monumental stuff for me. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a song and dance about it. Good on them for putting out one large amount of stuff in one go rather than eking it out over a few years. The early version of Spoon and the live version of Spoon are especially magnificent.

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 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 (eleven years ago) link
This is totally worth it for Disc One alone. Been jamming that non-stop.
― dronestreet, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:33 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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 (eleven years ago) link
Midnight Men and Graublau are stunning, this isn't mere archive material its Can!
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, basically if jaki liebezeit is playing on it, it's worth hearing.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
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.

Would be great. I got told that the Pascal Busey book was going o get a reprint about 10 years ago and ordered a copy which never appeared. Would like to read that.But an insider book would be better still.
Last time i saw the Lost Tapes box on the shelf in FOPP it had been reduced in size to that book size taht Miles Davis etc sets got put out as. Is that still around?
