Kraftwerk To Release Remaster Sets.


Celebrating the 35th anniversary of their album Autobahn, Kraftwerk plan to release eight of their albums in remastered form on Oct. 6.

The 8 CD box set, 12345678 The Catalogue, will include 8 reissued LP's; Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991), and Tour De France (2003).

From
pluginmusic.com: "Due to licensing restrictions in the US, only five of the eight albums will be released as separate CD editions: Autobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine and Tour De France. As a result, the only way for fans to own the entire catalogue on CD is to purchase the Box Set."

One of the most sampled groups in history, Kraftwerk formed in Düsseldorf in 1970 and is currently Ralf Hütter, Fritz Hilpert, Henning Schmitz, and Stefan Pfaffe.
