It's a shame they don't release it on vinyl
I've heard that they are planning to later this year.
yes. http://dublab.com/irmin-schmidt-interviewed-by-john-payne-04-22-12/

What a great article, that's what I call proper music journalism. Thanks for sharing. The songs in theat youtube clip is absolutly mind blowing. Thanks for sharing. I absolutly NEED this.
That is a collection of cues that was used for an episode of "Tatort" called "Tote Taube in der Beethovenstra??e" (tote taube == "Dead Pigeon" for the non-german speaking). I've played this direct-from-video mp3 to death (actually a great listen in itself, with dialogue and sfx):

It's basically variations on "Vitamin C" (as indicated by the above URL). Killer indeed. It was a nice surprise to see the proper studio recordings included on this box set. Which is generally great and recommended to all. Way way better than the stuff on all those dodgy boots that have been appearing over the years.
G, you'll be dissapointed if you're looking for stuff like "I Want More", which I know you for some strange reason was hoping for :lol:
Had to sip the blog juice for now, because money is tight due to a recent family addition. Ordering this as soon as possible, though. Hopefully the vinyl will be ready by then.
Belated congrats, Spidey. Nice birthday present.
Congratulations for your family addition, M*****! It sounds like you're doing well
I'm one of the few people who realy like the later can stuff for some reason and I want more is a classic in my book.
That vitamin C variation is begging for some kind of balearic/ deep house remix. If nobody will do it, I'll have to.
The James Brown like grunts are so awesome in it, I always wished something like this would exist.
M, is that your blog you linked above?
:woah:

Nope.
Thanks!
I'm actually not that mad at it either, I was just kidding. No Can Taliban here :lol:. There is a track on the box set which must be from this period (sounds like Rosko Gee on bass) called "Barnacles" which is as close to jazz-fooonk as I think they would get. Kind of like that '77 TV performance of "Dizzy Dizzy" that's on the Can DVD.
I like "smooth" Can when it works, but I know a lot of their fans hate this sound.
Yes, that one is heavy. That's the "Spoon" mutation that they're playing at the beginning of the "K??ln Free Concert" film. More insistent, aggro feel to it.
Saludos Amigos,
Thanks for those Vitamin C - Variations.

Seems they've been waffling on whether they'll do it or not.
Last I checked it was in limbo.
EDIT:
From the comments section of this article:

"I emailed Mute and they replied saying:
"It has not been released on vinyl. We are hoping to do so in the future but there are no firm plans just yet.
thanks
Mute"
Bummer. I'm really enjoying it in the iPod, but it would sound a lot better in my living room.
