VINNY B Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I used to have this bootleg when it first came out.When I had my first child I needed the money,so I had to sell it along with a ton of Zep boots.Should have never sold that one.I was wondering if anyone has a download of it so I can burn it.It would be easier that way than trying to do it yourself ,getting the sources and shows that they used.I am really surprised that no company did a cd version of it.SO IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A DOWNLOAD SITE OR CAN POST IT FOR DOWNLOAD IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Can's claim to fame is it's packaging, not it's content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danstheman Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Yes I have a Can and you are correct the content is a repressing of various zep boots. It’s all about just holding The Can and knowing you own one of 300(?) some sources say there are only 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnforcer3 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I saw one about 15yrs ago in Rodeo Records located in downtown Salem, OR. Didn't even bother to look at the price knowing it was out of my range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even bother to look at the price knowing it was out of my range. There was a guy a few years back who would email me once or twice a year for quite some time (years). He'd send me obviously legitimate photos of The Can in his (or someone's) possession and offer to sell it. The strangest thing is whenever I would offer to travel to where he was (elsewhere in Japan) to make the purchase and pick up he'd stop communicating with me. Several months to a year later he'd resume negotiations. Initial contact was completely unsolicited, and I had never said I was looking for one, so I'm unsure what his motivation was. If he felt he was taunting me he wasn't -- I could not care less one way or the other. Towards the end I usually gave a one line reply like "Confirm price, pick up time, date and location" without caring if he replied or not.

The negotiations centered around Led Zeppelin: The Final Option which is a 70 LP boxed set released the same year as The Can. Shipping would have cost a fortune so it was cheaper to fly to pick it up. However, as I said, a few years of email exchanges amounted to nothing.

Ziggypoc Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Bought "The Can" in 1986 in NYC at Record shop on West 8th and 7th Ave called "It's Only Rock n Roll". It was right down the block from Electric Ladyland Studios. Store had four or five of them in the rack at the time. They had a ton of Zep bootlegs there all the time, naturally all in vinyl. My friends and I would take the train from Brooklyn just to visit this shop and Bleeker Bob's. Then we went down to J&R Music World on NYC's Park Row. All three stores are long gone. I remember that I had saved in order to splurge to buy " The Can" as it was $ 40.00 !! Big money for a 15 year old kid. I did buy it and still have it today. I only played it once and packed it away. I will never sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggypoc Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Almost forgot, a "Can" did show up on Ebay about 4 or 5 years ago that sold for $ 900.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
