Spoon Records and Mute are delighted to announce the release of Can -- The Lost Tapes, the long awaited box set of unreleased studio, soundtrack and live material. The Lost Tapes was curated by Irmin Schmidt and Daniel Miller, compiled by Irmin Schmidt and Jono Podmore, and edited by Jono Podmore. When the legendary Can studio in Weilerswist was sold to the German Rock N Pop Museum, they bought everything, including the army mattresses that covered the walls for sound protection, and relocated it to Gronau. Whilst dismantling the studio, master tapes were found and stored in the Spoon archive. With barely legible labeling, no one was sure what was on these until Irmin Schmidt and long time collaborator Jono Podmore started to go through over 30 hours of music. 
What they found was years of archived material, not outtakes, but rather tracks which had been shelved for a variety of reasons. This set includes material never released anywhere." Housed in a 10x10" square box in the style of an old tape reel container; includes 24-page booklet with sleeve notes from Irmin Schmidt and Ian Harrison
