The 40th anniversary edition of the genre-defying album Tago Mago features the original UK artwork and includes 50 minutes of previously unreleased live material from 1972, remastered in 2011. Tago Mago, the first album with Damo Suzuki on vocals, features the Can line up of Holger Czukay on bass, Michael Karoli on guitars, Jaki Liebezeit on drums and Irmin Schmidt on keyboards, and was recorded at Schloss Nörvenich in 1971, released later that year on United Artists. A “landmark release in the history of rock ‘n’ roll” – MOJO Honours List winner of Classic Album Award “stunning” – John Lydon “sounds only like itself, like no-one before or after” – Julian Cope “mind expanding” – Q “The music was like nothing I’d ever heard before, not American, not rock & roll but mysterious and European.” – Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream
