Looks and sounds fantastic, though it needs several good cleans to remove the ticks and pops.

Lovely clean pressing and sound on lovely blue coloured vinyl.
No complaints here.

No issues at all with my copy. I cleaned it after unwrapping it and there's no surface noise whatsoever. Great mastering, nice separation of instruments/vocals, good soundstage. Recommended (and if you wonder how it compares to an original, I tested an original 1977 version of Trans-Europe Express against the new 2020 release and they both sound fantastic).

I had to return 2 of these before getting a copy that was ok. It really is only just ok, not a very good pressing overall. The first two had many micro scratchings and covered in tiny paper cuttings from the cheap sleeves. Also terrible noise on the last few minutes of each side.
I'm not a huge Kraftwerk fan Autobahn is just honouring some childhood memories.
If you do love Kraftwerk I would look for an older and better quality pressing.

Just received today. B side has a little static noise, sounds OK to me. The blue vinyl just looks fantastic. Great buy.

The sticker on front of my copy says "Special Edition Coloured Vinyl" - but also "Side" on the label. Sure there are different "English" and "German" versions (becaus lyrics are German only)?

Does anyone know how many copies these new colored editions are limited to? I can only find the term"Limited Edition" everywhere, but not how many copies exist.
