Can – The Peel Sessions 1973–74 (12-Inch Album)

This anthology draws upon three hypnotic live sessions by German krautrock pioneers Can, recorded for the BBC’s John Peel Sessions across 1973 and 1974.

Included, are a series of unreleased improvisations, including the 19-minute jam Up the Bakerloo Line with Anne, featuring vocalist Damo Suzuki.

Capturing the band’s spontaneous side outside of the studio, these sessions showcase the band’s unique improvisational style, characterised by deep, hypnotic grooves.

This collection serves as a vital document of Can’s live, experimental energy during their peak.
