The Can
Soul Desert / She Brings the Rain 7"
Liberty Germany 15 340 (1969)

(Ex/Ex+) The sleeve is in excellent condition, with just a bit of ringwear (an impression of the edge of label and record, a little bit of dirt on some of the light patches – which could probably be rubbed out with care – and a small bit of ink lifting from one of the darkest patches). It is a thin paper cover, so it's remarkable that it has survived this well. There is slight creasing to the opening edge, and some yellowing, which is inevitable after 50 years. The vinyl is in wonderful condition. There is nothing which would have any audible effect whatever. The vinyl retains a lovely shine, and has some very light scuff marks around the edge.

This early single from Can (when they were still called 'The Can') is unbelievably rare. I've only seen it for sale on a handful of occasions over the years. It was released in 1969 in Germany only (and in France the following year), a couple of years before any of their records were released in the UK. It was only ever released on the Liberty label, and never reissued.

Of course, you know the two tracks from Soundtracks, so they need no introduction. You're unlikely to see this on sale again for a very long time, so make sure you grab it now!

I have given this record a deep clean using a Knosti anti-static machine, so all traces of dust are gone, and it should be resistant to static for a long time.

If you want any more information or photos, please ask! I’ll be happy to help. Note: these are the actual photos of this item. They are the same photos found on the Discogs listing for this single, but that's because I submitted that listing!

The record will be sent to you inside a new poly outer sleeve, and packed in a professional mailer with card stiffeners. I’d advise the winner to take out postal insurance on this valuable item.

NOTE: If you buy this at the buy it now price, I will give you a postage discount (which in most cases will give you free p&p in the UK).

POSTAGE

Royal Mail prices have gone crazy over the past few years, but I'll do what I can to minimise the cost to you. I use professional card mailers and stiffeners (I recycle them where I can), and rare vinyl will be separated from the sleeve and placed in an anti-static poly inner, the disc and sleeve will be placed in a heavy duty poly sleeve.

I don't charge anything for Paypal, but you can also pay me from a UK bank account via BACS. If paying from abroad via IBAN/BIC, you will need to pay any fees charged by the bank, so in most cases Paypal will be the better option.

If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied with the item when you receive it, please contact me within 14 days of my postage date.
