Art aka Bremmy, exclaimed: >i cant believe, that the prieces for original vinyls are so high. what is >the reason for it? >hardcore-collectors push them up to these limits... The Tone Float album is one of the most sought-after record going, Arthur, for the reasons Peo mentioned and others. It has cross-over appeal; it is wanted by progressive rock fans, as well as synth-pop fans. Most Kraftwerk vinyls should be available for around 20 Euros in good condition. And Peo, need I tell you, you've got it all wrong again, since Tone Float does NOT, infact, repeat NOT suck. Not the best work of _some_ of the band members, ofcourse, but it has its moments. You should fight the urge to denounce the music us boys listen to, I've seen it happen before. Shame on you... ;) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Organisation - Record prices (Roman von Contzen)
by Alex Brega 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

I have seen a copy last year in a records fair in Milan; it was sold by German people that asked me 1000DM (about 516 Euro). I think actually the prices at records fairs are often too high, because the exhibitors have to pay taxes for staying and there is enough speculation,although you can find some rare items at very low prices,simply because they don't know what are selling ! I can consider 200 Euro as an affordable price for Tone Float (I know that is not simple to be found at this conditions) Alex KRAFTWERK Light years ahead _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Organisation - Record prices
by Roman von Contzen 16 Aug '02

Hi! Does any body know of a source where i can find out something about actual prices for original Kraftwerk or pre-Kraftwerk records? Today i held one of the original "Organisation" copys in my own hands (english pressing with the RCA-Label). The guy asked 300 euros for that!!! I think this is a lot of money for an old record - even if it's from "the" guys. He told me that someone payed 900 euros in an auction lately. Could this be true? Thanks!

Hello Everyone
by Tom 15 Aug '02

Greetings Werkers, My name is Tom from NJ USA. I'm new to submitting to the list but used to get the digests from time to time. I just want to introduce myself and tell some of my KW stories. The first time I ever heard Kraftwerk was just when Man Machine came out. I was a freshman in high school. Scott Muni from WNEW in NYC (is he still alive?) played a track or two everyday when it was released. I was immediately blown away. I just thought it was the greatest thing in the world. From there I collected what was available and never got tired of it. Then came Computer World in all its prophetic power. I was really wishing there would have been and album attached to Tour deFrance. People down play Electric Cafe, but I really dig it as much as computer world. Then the long lull. I just thought the Mix was just a greatest hits album so I didn't buy it right away. When I finally did, Iwas sorry I didn't have it from day one. One day on my day off I go to get a haircut. Both barbers are busy, so I sit down and pick up the NY Post. In the center fold are the Robots and they're playing TOMORROW! I had no clue! If I sat inthe barber chair right away I would have been screwed! I go. I scalp. I'm in and I'm loosing my mind. Stupid me, I bring a camera instead of a tape recorder. Unbelieveable show. The first web site I ever checked out was KW at my friends house. Amusing but sparse. When I finally got on line myself (not until late '99) I discovered some of the sites and BOOTLEGS. I was like a crack addict for a while with the bootlegs. I think EXPO 2000 is very organic. I don't surf much, but the other day I decided to do a google search to see if I could find anything new. The Brazilian site comes up and they're playing NEXT MONTH!!!!!!!!!! How cool. MORE BOOTLEGS!!!!! Anyways, I can't wait until the new album comes out. Maybe we'll get lucky in NYC again. This time I'll have some advance notice via the web :) I'm still looking for a copy of a recording of the NYC 98 shows, any out there? Thanks, Tom
