Can Live in Cuxhaven 1976 LP (Curacao Blue Vinyl)

Live in Cuxhaven 1976 is the third in a series of Can live concerts available in full for the first time on vinyl. Includes a booklet with extensive sleeve notes by journalist/author Pascal Bussy.

Originally recorded on tape, these carefully restored live albums will comprise the entirety of each show in the format of a story with a beginning, middle and end, with Can's performances taking on a life of their own. The series was overseen by founding member Irmind Schmidt and producer/engineer René Tinner, who delicately worked on restoring the archival recordings to the best quality for current modern technology. These albums have been released alongside a succession of interviews discussing the band's live shows. The YouTube series comprises interviews with Pascal Bussy, Mute's Daniel Miller, music critic Nick Kent, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, and Andy Hall and René Tinner, who were both involved with recording Can's live shows.

The band's lineup for this legendary 1976 performance features all four original members - Irmin Schmidt on keys, Jaki Leibezeit on drums, Michel Karoli on guitar, and Holger Czukay on bass.

Can's powerful influence has never diminished, and their indelible mark is apparent in the bands who freely acknowledge their importance - from Portishead, James Murphy, Sonic Youth, New Order, Factory Floor, Public Image Ltd, Mogwai, Madlib and Radiohead - as well as across other disciplines such as visual art and literature.
