Some talk on discogs of dished copies. Mine looked flat but haven't got a turntable yet so can't tell.WOWZER, are the numbers counting down rather than going up They must be picking random ones from a pile.
It has been said (from Youtube video's) that this nearly matches the quality of this Rhino at a lower price. I've no experience tho' of it's quality.Some talk on discogs of dished copies. Mine looked flat but haven't got a turntable yet so can't tell.
Also someone there said they got copy no 472 in early Feb. They must leave the factory boxed in multiples of 25 or 50 and I guess which you get depends on which box they take it out of. Is the Rhino 2012 well regarded?
Here's a link to a thread on the Hoffman forum from a couple of years ago, apparently there are versions that are even harsher than mine:
My copy is number 2017! It arrived 20th January. Totally random by the look of things.Some talk on discogs of dished copies. Mine looked flat but haven't got a turntable yet so can't tell.

Which of the Live albums would you say are the best sound quality, I have three studio albums and fancy a live one.Not forthcoming as Iām listening to it now, but Can Live Paris ā73 is worth a listen. Not the best sound quality, though it seems to get better as it progresses, but prime-Damo-era Can nonetheless. Mono, very limited dynamically, nothing like the slam of others in the series, but musically it is excellent and as ever with Can is mainly free-form improvisation/jamming. One for the real Can fans, but that should be everyone.
PS Given less than ideal sound quality and the fact theyāve had to split the first 36 minute track over two sides the CD may be the better option here (Amazon) and is certainly cheaper. It is decent bootleg quality, no more. Musically amazing though. They were a hell of a live band!

Cheeers.
Thanks for that Tony, really appreciate it. I will have a look for them. Cheers.The sound quality of all the preceding ones is good, they have a real power and heft to them. It sounds like you are at a good gig, e.g. there is a PA system thwack to the drums etc. Iād personally take either of the triples; Brighton or Stuttgart over Cuxhaven just on the fact they are the full thing and unedited and have far more space to breathe. They are all really good albums and surprised me as I view 1976 as well past their prime, but these albums reverse that and show they were still knocking the ball out of the court live, even if it was a very different thing. In many ways these sound like mid-70s Miles Davis, hardly any recognisable songs, just extended visceral funk grooves and improvisation. These are amongst my favourite Can albums. I only wish Paris ā73 was even half as good sonically.
PS I think if I had to pick one Iād go with Stuttgart as it was the first released, so one would assume the bands first choice, plus I think the orange vinyl may be better than the gold of Brighton, though in fairness that sounds great too.
Same, Stuttgart (especially) and Brighton are awesome, wish Iād gone for the vinyl. Cuxhaven merely pretty good.The sound quality of all the preceding ones is good, they have a real power and heft to them.
