Can - Soon Over Babaluma. 1974 Germany


This album was my introduction to Can way back in 1985. It was the Spoon LP reissue which many stores that had an import section were carrying at the time. The instrumental nature of the album appealed to me far more than the Mooney or Suzuki variations that preceded it. That said, it's never been a favorite. To this day it's only the archival Peel Sessions that has truly hit me hard from this band, though I dutifully own most of their classic albums in one format or another.


Ownership: LP: 1975 United Artists (USA). Single sleeve. As noted in a roundup at the end of last year, I bought this from our local friends at Tiger Records (2022). Fairly priced too (though not cheap). Beautiful copy still in shrink and barely played (much nicer than these Discogs' stock photos).  As such, the commodity CD is no longer needed (which replaced the aforementioned Spoon LP).


1985; 9/29/19; 1/9/23 (LP 4.1); 3/26/23
