CAN
-----
Empire Theatre, Edinburgh
25th August 1973
FLAC
Lineage: *Original Notes
Cassette received by 'wreka' (thanks!) in 1976, believed to be early generation SBD or
AUD copy from the recordings made at most live performances by Holger Czukay. Given that
clearly some of this is the same mix / quality as the earlier Edinburgh SBD post...

...whilst in other parts, there is clearly audience talk / clapping audible, allied to
slight but clear quality, mix, volume and balance shifts, my thought is that this may be
a skillfully edited combination of both SBD and AUD sources.
Quality: Must be worth an A+ for the performance and the vintage
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimer 'wreka' sent me several Can recordings for remastering, this one being the rest of
the Edinburgh concert, a companion to the remastered boot I posted recently and may
never have been posted before, although I include details (above) of changes made just
in case it has.
I don't think I've ever heard any Can where Holger's bass playing is so clear, showing
it to be just as simple / complex as Jaki's drums, if you understand what I mean, whilst
apparently leading the shifts and changes in the music. It gives me a much enhanced
understanding of his hidden (to me) value and contribution to the overall band sound.
There seem to be two sources here, where the level of both Damo's and Michael's
contributions in the mix changes, but not the others, so there was a limit to changes I
could make. The overall sound - and the exact same change settings as the previous set -
make it certain to me they are the remaining Edinburgh set.
There is probably a third source for the overdubs as they still contain more
noise and there are quite audible tape (pinch wheel?) flutter defects, but I've left
them in as they do seem to have the same original sound / mix as the others so are
probably Edinburgh recordings.
The overall result is still a fabulous and rare listen so grab it quick and...
...Enjoy (TomP)
