I Am Damo Suzuki&nbsp;- The Special EditionThis special edition contains the following exclusive items:

Hardback book with slipcase - limited to 1000 copies containing an exclusive compilation CD and a certificate signed by Damo Suzuki himself.

When the anarchic vocalist of Can left the celebrated German band in late 1973, the ensuing decade-long absence was taken by many to be the end of his personal story. But it was just the beginning. In I Am Damo Suzuki, Kenji Damo Suzuki and co-author Paul Woods illuminate a life in music driven by the principle of randomness.

The book spans the influence of western music on Suzuki growing up in post-WWII Japan, his rejection of national traditions and a lifelong journey of exploration. After his hippie-influenced beginnings as a provocative street musician, Suzuki s story took an unlikely turn after a chance recruitment into Can, one of the most innovative bands of the seventies. A stint of family life and the role of Japanese salaryman preceded his return to the music world with The Damo Suzuki Band and later with Damo Suzuki s Network, an international vehicle for musical communication using sound instead of words.

With contributions from family members, lifelong friends, musical collaborators and Damo's long-term partner,&nbsp;I Am Damo Suzuki&nbsp;is an absorbing portrait of a musical catalyst and enigmatic icon.
