...but only rich ones.
Mute are re-releasing ALL of Can's studio albums, plus a previously unissued 1975 live album, in a mammouth 17-LP linen-covered box set with book.
Apparently all the LPs have been remastered, to the band's usual high standards.
Here's Mute's blurb:
Following on from the success of The Lost Tapes, Mute and Spoon are delighted to announce the release of the long-awaited remastered catalogue vinyl box set, a 17 piece vinyl set on 180g vinyl housed in a linen wrapped box, out on 2 December 2013.
The box set features 13 of the band’s classic albums, alongside Out Of Reach, which has been unavailable in any official format since its original release in 1978 plus Can Live, a bonus live disc featuring the classic Can line up of Holger Czukay (bass), Michael Karoli (guitar), Jaki Liebezeit (drums) and Irmin Schmidt (keyboards) Can Live was recorded at Sussex University in 1975 and will be unavailable in any format outside of the Can Vinyl Box.
The artwork for the individual albums is all in its original form and five posters and a 20-page 12” booklet accompanies the box set featuring unseen photographs from the Can archive and sleevenotes by the acclaimed author, Alan Warner (Morven Caller).

I'd be well into this, but it looks like it will be VERY pricey - in the region of £400.
