Can – Limited Edition

Cutaway is dated from March 1969…but aural evidence suggests otherwise and being more mid 1970’s…Babaluma, Landed period

My copy of this has the cover of Limited Edition USP103 but the Caroline labels and run-out etchings matching Unlimited Edition CAD3001. Only the first record containing the tracks that were released on Limited Edition is included. Has anybody else seen this? Is it possible that some leftover covers were sold with the new press of vinyl? Of course this copy came to me second hand so who knows how it ended up this way.

Doko E is part of a much longer 36 minute+ workout which is well worth hearing. It was recorded at the Future Days sessions and, in my opinion, is a much better track than Bel Air. Holger should have edited Doko E down to 20 minutes or so and put on the second side of Future Days. The quality on these unofficial albums is near-perfect: Can - Doko E

Does anybody know if this reissue has a gatefold sleeve?

Please,check the original must have:
Matrix / Runout: USP-103-A-1U
Matrix / Runout: USP-103-B-1U

They should have discarded 'Cutaway' altogether - it's a long incoherent piece made up of unrelated leftovers arbitrarily spliced together, pretentious and time wasting, a blot on the CAN landscape.

I love Can, but I really didn't think there's much here. About 2-3 tracks are listenable songs, and the rest is tossed off instrumental noodling. Check out The Lost Tapes before going to this.

How do you tell the difference between the official USP 103 and the unofficial?

Unless there's a recent reissue that restores the original 2LP as it should be, this is the closest you can get to the full classic Unlimited Edition. Why? Well, many of you may not know this, but the SACD had 2 big chunks cut out of Cutaway! Did they really think we'd not notice? I think there were some other little differences too. By the way, even this CD has some differences to what you may know from the vinyl. That's because this mix is the German Harvest 2LP version, a couple of tracks differ very slightly from the Virgin issue!
