- Edited 5 days agoThis is the album that has sent me on a 40 year DJ and Electronic Producer quest that's still ll ongoing.
This and Trans Europe Express helped to create early Hip Hop and Detroit Techno.
This release is profoundly special to my heart. The sleeve is beautiful the enclosed booklet is a treat.
Stone cold classic, has inspired millions of Artist. - Edited 10 days agoDopplereffekt, Drexciya, I-F or Miss Kittin, all great producer. But this is the best Electro Album of all time. And this 10 years before in 1981, fantastic!!!!
Was the Color Sticker on the Cover or on the shrink??? - Strangely poor printing on this klingklang sonopress '86 CD re-issue. Makes it look like a copy, but the cd matrix confirms validity.

Huge fan of this album, the GERMAN version..have 2 1st German LP pressings that sound incredible, great cut and mastering. Has a wider stereo image than the 2015 repressing from the Digital Master, although the latter also sounds very good and is very quiet. I also have a German CD repress from the 1990s which sounds very muffled, I guess the ADC/DAC converters were not as good back then. I just got the USA cassette 1st run and it sounds VERY GOOD, although it runs way faster than the LP and I prefer the German version (Pocket Calculator is never the same or as good as Tashenrechner) but it seems you have to pay an arm and a leg to get a decent cassette copy of it…
Bottom line is, get an early German pressing if you can…now, if they release a 96/24 version of it, even from the Digital Master, I would definitely get it…- If anyone is still looking for a copy of this, feel free to private message me. I have an unplayed copy available.

My copy is pressed on black vinyl. Same matrix numbers.referencing Computer World (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Unofficial Release, Clear) HS 3549
NM/NM perfect copy here for decent dimes, write me .- Edited 3 months agoThis has to be the best this album was ever heard. If there is a better pressing out there I’d like to see it. This pressing makes this their best album.
