In late November 1975 Hardin performed as guest lead vocalist with the German experimental rock band Can, for two UK concerts at Hatfield Polytechnic in Hertfordshire and London's Drury Lane Theatre. According to author Rob Young, a huge argument between Hardin and Can occurred after the London concert, during which Hardin threw a television set through a car's windscreen.

There's a bootleg of the Hatfield Poly gig, I'm sure I've got it somewhere.

yeah tim hardin's stuff with can is... not good. it was this period where they were looking for a new vocalist... there's also that month where their vocalist was michael cousins, who was previously best known for being thrown off the stage at hawkwind concerts for sucking too hard. (against all odds he went on to do a pretty good single with members of the damned...)

Suite For Susan Moore is maybe the peak of the sad man in him room genre.

Some of that intimacy must be because it was recorded in Tim Hardin's house.I did a guest show on a local college radio station where this was one of the vinyl records I located in their library. I played "Everything Good Became More True" but haven't heard the whole record.
