    My copy of this has the cover of Limited Edition USP103 but the Caroline labels and run-out etchings matching Unlimited Edition CAD3001. Only the first record containing the tracks that were released on Limited Edition is included. Has anybody else seen this? Is it possible that some leftover covers were sold with the new press of vinyl? Of course this copy came to me second hand so who knows how it ended up this way.

      Doko E is part of a much longer 36 minute+ workout which is well worth hearing. It was recorded at the Future Days sessions and, in my opinion, is a much better track than Bel Air. Holger should have edited Doko E down to 20 minutes or so and put on the second side of Future Days. The quality on these unofficial albums is near-perfect: Can - Doko E

          I love Can, but I really didn't think there's much here. About 2-3 tracks are listenable songs, and the rest is tossed off instrumental noodling. Check out The Lost Tapes before going to this.

            How do you tell the difference between the official USP 103 and the unofficial?
