CAN: In Search of A Vocalist

After Damo Suzuki left CAN, there were a number of other vocalists who rehearsed and played live with them in 1975/6 before they added Rosko Gee and Reebop to the core line up of Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit

Tracklist: 
1/ Phew - I'm Your Doll (Phew vocalising over the Live At Edinburgh 1973 gig) That was Damo's last with the band and was recorded by United Artists but so far is unreleased. There are another two tracks from Phew at this session 'Hot Day In Köln​' and 'Finished' 
2/ Michael Cousins (A/K/A Magic Michael) - One More Night (from Live in Hannover 11/4/76) Once described by Nick Kent as 'Ladbroke Grove’s answer to Wildman Fischer'
3/ Tim Hardin - Rehearsal (presumably at Inner Space late 75. I have a live improvisation by them together also which is dated November 1975) Check the encore at this gig 
4/ Thaiaga Raj Raja Ratnam - Live Improvisation 1976 
The last time this was posted an ex girlfriend of Raj's left a couple of comments which filled in a few details and then there was this 
In the end CAN elected to keep the vocals inhouse RE-posted
