Kraftwerk – Radio-Aktivität

Every time I listen to this album I am struck by how experimental it is, and I’m not saying this with that period’s musical context in mind. Even today most songs are so far fetched, otherworldly, dark, artful, …

Sounds good but God I really do not like the updated sleeves. Why ? The original wasn’t a masterpiece but it was better than this tat.

Nothing but a resounding success for me. That foes for all the coloured vinyl Kraftwerks ive collected in the series which is the lot, bar the too bleak for me Autobahn. Pressings are great sound is amazing and the booklets are excellent

Radioactivity is Kraftwerk's darkest album by a long way especially when listened to in its entirely. It throws the listener back half a century to a time of nuclear scientists, oscilloscopes, and weird X-ray machines. Cold, dangerous, and remote. The ever pulsating and slightly irritating repetition of Radio Stars gets decidedly sinister as the track progresses. Radioland has some really creepy bits of radio interference, square waves, pink noise and that peculiar UFO-ish sounding signal on shortwave radio. Unfortunately, the digital versions of Radioactivity stripped away some of the intentional sounds such as the low-frequency background hum in The News. Try to get the vinyl version, but failing that or if you don't have a turntable, try to get a digital file direct from vinyl.

I had one which was completely in German, but it was off-centre unfortunately and had to return it. Instead I got the same cover, catalogue numbers and so on, but part of it was in German and in English. Most noticeable on Radio Activity, so with the English text. Does anybody else have this?
But otherwise a perfect pressing and highly recommended.

Selling it because I wanted the inner sleeve like the original pressings. This is pretty bare bones. Doesn’t sound bad though if that’s all you care about. Looking for an OP.

It'd be appropriate to detail the codes and lettering on the stickers, with the uploaded image one cannot read this small print, which seems to have on each sticker lower right the label code for this release, and lower left seems to say "Made in USA"? Would those with the original era stickers check this, and if they're all the same, or were there other printers? Are the stickers fluorescent under blacklight? Some may have noticed this on album and single covers and sleeves, the traffic cone on "Ralf & Florian" for example.

I have what seems like an early German pressing catalog no. 1C 064-82 087, with 16 stickers and photo insert/lyrics- the thing is, this version has a white star on the back cover (as opposed to a circle). I can't find any this version among the German pressings on discogs, does anyone know what pressing a white star indicates?

Unfortunately, the copy I purchased was an off-centre pressing, the error most apparent on Radioland. I returned the disc to the seller who confirmed the error in my copy and also other copies in the same batch.
