Delay 1968, or just Delay (as the SACD version is titled), is a compilation album of early outtakes of Can's work with singer Malcolm Mooney, including some of the band's earliest material. It contains the song "Thief", which was later covered live by Radiohead.^[1]

Holger Czukay has said that Delay 1968 was originally intended to be the band's first album and would have been titled Prepared To Meet Thy PNOOM, although no record company was willing to release it so they attempted to make a somewhat more accessible album, which became their debut Monster Movie^[2].
