Can – Soon Over Babaluma

I got what appears to be a recent reissue of this pressing, except it has no card, inside or mentioned on the sticker. Also my copy has the A side pressed fairly off center, the tone arm moves so much it looks like a 78 playing. Somehow the B side is fine and is pressed on center. If this IS a new reissue, it still has the typo on the cover. 👎

Does anyone know what the difference is between this pressing and other first pressing?

great release. the sound is clear, rich, the bass is excellent.

it says “CAHIN REACTION” on the front cover, but i don’t see that typo on older versions of the record. odd little typo i wonder how that happened.

Y’all, this pressing sounds amazing. Like hearing the album again for the first time. Highly recommended.

Wondering if this one will get a colored pressing as well

US pressing has liner notes by Jeffrey Walker on the back.

First heard this album on Radio Caroline, coming through on the airwaves was Chain Reaction and Quantum Physics. Superbly atmospheric and rhythmic like some alien sounds drifting towards the planet. Simply fantastic.............. Michael Karolis guitar still playing on the emotions today. Pick up the 1981 first Spoon vinyl for a sonic journey

The vinyl mastering on this one is superb. It's pretty much a perfect sounding record minus a few pops here and there. The separation of sounds are so evident that every instrument you hear is gets its own stage. Everything just sounds so bright, vibrant and living. You could picture yourself in the studio when they were recording this and visualize the movements of the players...sounds fading in and out of focus. Splash sounds so intense...a foundation rumbling jazzy psych trip out to auditory bliss even with the slightest sibilance for a couple of seconds. There are sufficient notes and photos on the back on the shiny, spacey album cover and both sides of the inner...no wasted space. Spoon and Mute did a great job with this reissue. If you could find this album at a reasonable price, I wouldn't hesitate. 4 - 4.5 star pressing in my book.

Un des albums les plus accessibles et ambient de CAN. Album très homogène et qui permet de découvrir une facette plus ambiente du groupe. Très jolie pochette originale
