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 JavierDrada wrote: > > Just picked up the original 1974 pressing of Kraftwerk's, "Autobahn" and the > original 1975 pressing of Kraftwerk's, "Radio-Activity".
