Hello, 

Good job on the finds! I know that there have been recent repressings
from Capitol for Trans-Europe Express and Radioactivity on Vinyl. You
should be able to order from most of your better vinyl retailers, as it
is a major label release. buying doubles is an option if you do not to
touch the old pressing. The shame is that they recorded Computerworld
for Warners and that has not seen a recent repressing. I remember Tour
De France being recently repressed as well. 

Radioactivity is an interesting record, I do not like quite as much as
Autobahn. The songs were shorter and a little more evolved, and there
was definitely greater use of weird synth sounds in the compositions. I
though the moog bleeps in morse code on the titletrack was a nice touch.
It is good stuff, but not necessarily essential. IMO everything
Kraftwerk did between TEE and Tour De France needs to be in everybodys
collection, the stuff before TEE is good for historial perspective, and
everything after Tour De France should be heard just so you do not make
the same mistakes in your own music. ;)

While we are on the subject of classic finds, does anyone have any good
recommendations for obscure but good new wave records? 

take care, 
Mike
