THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE FIRST ISSUE EMBOSSED SLEEVE "Printed in England by Robor Limited"
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE
Although Kraftwerk's first three albums were groundbreaking in their own right, Autobahn is where the group's hypnotic electronic pulse genuinely came into its own.
The main difference between Autobahn and its predecessors is how it develops an insistent, propulsive pulse that makes the repeated rhythms and riffs of the shimmering electronic keyboards and trance-like guitars all the more hypnotising.
The 22-minute title track, in a severely edited form, became an international hit single and remains the peak of the band's achievements — it encapsulates the band and why they are important within one track — but the rest of the album provides soundscapes equally as intriguing.
Within Autobahn, the roots of electro-funk, ambient, and synth pop are all evident — a truly pioneering album
Side 1: Autobahn
Side 2: Kometenmelodie 1 / Kometenmelodie 2 / Mitternacht / Morgenspaziergang
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright labels with just a few light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new with noting but harmless hairlines visible under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Beautiful crystal clear and sharp sound throughout - lovely copy - very hard to find playing this well
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Apart from some (very minor) light marking to the white parts of the sleeve it's as crisp, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
