Warner Music / Parlophone Records have now confirmed that the 2009 vinyl remasters Kraftwerk - Der Katalog 12345678 - from Germany and UK will be released as individual heavyweight LPs in colored vinyl for the first time
There are a total of the six German LPs and the eight UK LPs - 'Autobahn', 'Radio Activity', 'Trans Europe Express', 'The Man-Machine', 'Computer World', 'Techno Pop', 'The Mix' and 'Tour De France'. The German editions include five German-language versions plus Radio-Activity, which features German song titles on the artwork, although the audio is identical to the UK pressing.
The new vinyl editions are pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl in a dynamic palette of colors: From the translucent neon yellow of 'Computer World' and to the blue of 'Autobahn', they sound flawless. The design of the Kraftwerk albums was conceived and produced by Ralf Hütter, and the covers were printed to the highest production standards. Each album comes with an illustrated booklet that holds these visionary imagery of Kraftwerk
Kraftwerk's unmatched influence on electronic music and pop culture can currently be traced at the Design Museum London, where the highly acclaimed exhibition "Electro: From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers" is on display. Kraftwerk's 3-D exhibition space is one of the standout moments of the exhibition, a fully immersive experience that captures the uniqueness of a Kraftwerk concert with its state-of-the-art sonic and visual presentation
'Radio-Activity' is the fifth studio album by German electronic band Kraftwerk and was released in October 1975. It is the band's first all-electronic album and is a concept album centered around the themes of radioactive decay and radio communication.
The album was accompanied by a single release of the title track, which was successful in France. To cater to the band's international audience, all releases from the album were bilingual, with lyrics in English and German.
'Radio-Activity' by Kraftwerk as a Limited Edition on 180g heavy Translucent Yellow Vinyl, remastered in 2009, with 16-page booklet.
