Limited Edition (Numbered out of 1500 copies worldwide) Deluxe 180 Gram 17 LP Box Set! Remastered for the First Time on Vinyl! Contains Unseen Photos, Posters, Rare 'Out Of Reach' album and Bonus Live Disc featuring the Classic Can Line-up!
The box set features 13 of the band's classic albums, alongside Out Of Reach, which has been unavailable in any official format since its original release in 1978 plus Can Live, a bonus live disc featuring the classic Can line up of Holger Czukay (bass), Michael Karoli (guitar), Jaki Liebezeit (drums) and Irmin Schmidt (keyboards). Can Live was recorded at Sussex University in 1975 and will be unavailable in any format outside of the Can Vinyl Box. The artwork for the individual albums is all in its original form and five posters and a 20-page 12" booklet accompanies the box set featuring unseen photographs from the Can archive and sleevenotes by the acclaimed author, Alan Warner (Morven Caller).
Can was founded in 1968 by Irmin Schmidt, Holger Czukay, Michael Karoli and Jaki Liebezeit who formed a group which would utilize and transcend all boundaries of ethnic, electronic experimental and modern classical music.
All the studio albums remastered for the first time on vinyl. The box reflects the changing eras of the band, the different powerful singers like Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki and collaborators such as Reebob Kwaku and Rosko Gee.
The band's powerful influence has never diminished, and their indelible mark is apparent in the bands who freely acknowledge their importance - from Portishead, James Murphy, New Order, Factory Floor, Public Image Ltd, Mogwai, Kanye West (who sampled "Sing Swan Song") and Radiohead - as well as across other disciplines such as visual art and literature.
Can Vinyl Box follows the phenomenal success of 2011's 40th anniversary release of Tago Mago (awarded 5 stars from MOJO, Uncut, Artrocker and Record Collector), The Lost Tapes (which featured heavily in the Albums of the Year 2012) and this year's Cyclopean EP (Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Kumo, and Burnt Friedman).
