Probably the best review/column yet on this: http://thequietus.com/articles/09079-can-the-lost-tapes-review

Just picked up the box on lunch break. Psyched.

lol, thought at first that Damo was singing "WAITING FOR THE STREAKER!!!"

i am only two songs in, but i am enjoying this so far.

lol, thought at first that Damo was singing "WAITING FOR THE STREAKER!!!"

think that one's Malcolm in fact.

ah could be. wasn't sure.

this really is something else. that live version of 'spoon' kills!

Listening to it now, someone remind me what the chorus of Spoon is again plz?

aaaah seeohwahmacheeoooh

p much

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"

This is totally worth it for Disc One alone. Been jamming that non-stop.

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.

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.

man this fucking rules. better than i expected. a few songs are hard to listen to, i suppose, but that's to be expected.

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.

Midnight Men and Graublau are stunning, this isn't mere archive material its Can!

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.

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.

yeah, basically if jaki liebezeit is playing on it, it's worth hearing.

i would've settled for a 40-disc set of all the tapes, thank you very much.

what's the breakdown between malcolm/damo/post-damo tracks?

What's the actual lyric for the bit in Halleluwah that I've always heard as 'something for my ba-athroom HALELULELULELULEWAH!'

searching for my brother?

I got "searching for my brother" from a lyrics site, but was never sure.

something for my problem

my bathroom problem

is this cd only?

At the moment, I have heard there are plans for an eventual vinyl release but I have not seen that in writing anywhere.

There's a really interesting article in this month's 'Sound On Sound' magazine on The Lost Tapes.

what's the breakdown between malcolm/damo/post-damo tracks?

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.

right, I always disliked Malcolm until I heard Unlimited Ed.

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.

it was edited on the earlier cd?

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

"Father cannot yell", never bettered but then again who could?

Yeah, I'm not the biggest Monster Movie fan but Father Cannot Yell is one of the 4 or 5 best things they ever recorded.

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

Aw. "Thief" is amazing. "Little Star of Bethlehem" is great too if you imagine they're making fun of the Red Hot Chili Peppers 15 years before they formed.
Mooney is more grating and less dynamic & deliberate than Damo. And it takes more time to get into Mooney. But he's just as perfect for Can as Damo, just in entirely different ways. Mooney is more like Iggy, if Damo is Bowie - singing context only. (not a perfect analogy, I realize)

I love the version of "Little Star" on Radio Waves, but I don't know if that's Mooney or Damo!

Little Star of Bethlehem is one of the best ever can songs. Waterlilies in the bath tub. He seems so lovable does Malcolm and the poor guy was on the verge of a nervous breakdown as a Can member. I thought Bubble Rap was a Damo track?

Little Star is kind of an oddity in the Can catalogue, as I actually can understand the lyrics

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?

It's been a while since I've listened to Turtles Have Short Legs and I'm listening to the singles collection and trying to remember if the stereo separation was always this ridiculous. It works, but it also sounds like someone was having a whole lot of fun putting it together

you remember rocky jones?
