    My copy has a barcode sticker 0 603497 911431 on the shrink on top of original barcode and sticker "Made in " on the back, under the shrink. Everything else matching this release.

        These Kraftwerk reissues stand out for the quality and price. I have a few and this is no exception. Don’t sleep.

                This reissue is stellar. The bass is tight and punchy and the mids and highs are crisp and bright. Kudos to those involved with this release!

                  Hi, I don't know why they did a remastered version, because the old one I have sounds good to (slightly different, less bass maybe), maybe money story with copyright, but this one sounds really good, nice job done, but I don't get why they cut 1 minute from Neon Light, maybe for technical reasons because the disks is completely full, not possible to put more on this side haha..
                  All in one really nice album, good pressing, completely quiet.

                    One of my favorite releases presented in such an elegant package.

                    Everything from the mastering to the sleeve art takes my breath away

                    A perfect record to drop the needle on when performing morning routines
