Can - Monster Movie (Limited Edition) (Sky Vinyl)

Recorded at Schloss Nörvenich on July 25th,1969, Monster Movie was originally released on [l970979], in a private edition of 500 copies. Subsequent German releases on [l243394] used the original Music Factory masters, and retained their SRS 001 matrix inscriptions through at least 1975. The Liberty/UA German pressings follow a linear chronology, beginning in August 1969: [r=778233] has title+credit on one line / 'Liberty' rim text / printed by Linnepe / laminated [r=5075406] switches title & credit to two lines [r=14512121] introduces 'United Artists' rim text [r=5327336] introduces 'Druckhaus Maack' printer credit [r=5474525] switches to unlaminated sleeve / introduces new A-side cut Many early Liberty/UA pressings carry an 'Electric Rock' sticker, in one of at least two designs. These correspond with a promotional campaign around Liberty/UA's [r=961447] compilation, issued in 1970. They are not however a reliable indicator of pressing date, as they appear on the earliest first pressings documented here, and may have been in use as late as 1973.
