Picked up a copy with a pretty beat up cover but the vinyl is pristine, glossy, smooth and cleaned up wonderfully. The sound is amazing and I couldn't be happier. Amazing album from an amazing group that is touring the US as we speak! -

Edited 19 years agoMost infulential record in electronic dance music history. It brought electronic music to the public with its use of synths blended with traditonal instruments. Most concept albums are only a concept but Kraftwerks really "takes you there". Autobahn takes you on a masterpiece 22 1/2 minute trip down the German super highway. Be cautious driving to this music where they have speeding fines it is infectious and gains speed the whole way through. When you get out of the car have a gentle morning walk with Morgenspaziergang you will swear you are walking 5am on a wooded trail to nowhere.
