Just nabbed this from the VG+ boards.
Looks like Mute/Spoon Records are putting out a bunch of previously unreleased Can recordings this summer:

Recording dates ranging from 1968 - 1977.
I'm exited for this.
Should be some good shit if this sound clip is anything to go by:





Only downside: no vinyl

    "oh yeah" ...possibly my favourite tune from can.

    i hope they put up some more previews of the tracks that will be included as I can't imagine much of it will match the quality of their best moments. 3CD's worth of music seems a lot to be left forgotten on a shelf, especially if it is considered good enough to release...

    I have this and it's pretty great:



    Can boot of 68/69 studio recordings, as good as their official releases, imo.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they left a lot of great stuff in the 'can', I think they spent a lot of time recording.

    WOW. I'm totaly excited. I can listen to them for hours and it always puts me in a zen-like state.
    I hope there is some stuff like this included:
