[4] Can offered Prepared to Meet Thy Phoon to several record company, but the album wasn't picked up.

"Thief" was used in the comedy thriller Kuckucksei im Gangsternest, directed by Franz-Josef Spieker and released at the end of the year.

Can were invited to set up a performance in the Schloss' entrance hall, where Malcolm Mooney "became distracted, hypnotised even, by the constant flow of visitors up and down the central staircase", tirelessly repeating the words "Moving Slowly Going Uphill".

When German producer Conny Planck listened to the recordings in the early 80s, he got excited saying: "As long as Can playes 'Soul' they are unbeatable".

The most "raucous and insistent record, with Karoli riffing harder than he ever would again, and Mooney's hoarse, off-key cries suiting its avant-garage vibe.
