CAN Ege Bamyasi (United Artists UAS 29414 I) RARE German 1st Pressing + Insert EX+
RARE German first pressing of Can`s critically acclaimed fourth album "Ege Bamyasi", on United Artists Records (November 1972).
"I found Ege Bamyas? in the 49-cent bin at Woolworth`s. I didn’t see anything written about Can, I didn’t know anything about them except this okra can on the cover, which seemed completely bizarre. I finally picked that record up, and I completely wore it out. It was so alluring. Something about it made Can seem to be playing outside of rock 'n' roll. It was unlike anything else I was hearing at the time."  - Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) GRADING:
EX++ COVER with a bit of overall wear. Please see photos for details.
- Original German first pressing front-laminated sleeve with original suffix "K 0996" on rear sleeve (at bottom left). 
- Very slight crease to the opening edge (at top right).   - A few minor creases along the bottom edge, as well as to the spine.
- Also includes original custom-printed insert in EX+ condition, with a small seam split (approx. 1cm) to one side only.

EX+ RECORD that has seen a few previous plays. Play-graded, audio reproduction is near-perfect all the way through.
- The record shows some overall hairlining, as well as a few light scuffs, especially on side two.
- Intermittent background crackle in quiet passages or in between tracks - but absolutely no clicks or pops whatsoever!
- Original beige United Artists labels with a few superficial spindle lines, visible only under strong lighting.
- The matrix stamps in the run-off grooves read "29414 A1/C3A - Made in Germany" and "29414 B1/C3A - Made in Germany", clearly denoting a first pressing.
- This copy of "Ege Bamyasi" is fully certified to be an original German first pressing, released in November 1972.
PLEASE NOTE: Not to be compared with the more-often-than-not substandard vinyl on offer on eBay UK, this item is in honestly-graded EX+ to EX++ condition:  You will not find another copy of "Ege Bamyasi" offering similar value-for-money on all of eBay!
