Richard, I think it was, went:
Anyway, if you're prepared to make the effort to go all that way to see them, you shouldn't miss a trip to Vinyl, the collector's shop in
Shinjuku district. There are several Vinyl stores there, each covering a >different <range of music, but you'll find a lot of admittedly expensive KW <collector's items in the electro & Krautrock shop at Vinyl Japan #1 (open 12:00->21:00 no holidays; phone 3365-0910; Nishi-Shinjuku 7-4-9).
I was there in May of last year. I saw the German original Autobahn LP signed by all four - that would be Klaus Roeder, not Karl. I'm not saying it wasn't worth the 400 Euros (!) they wanted for it, but I sure didn't have the money. In fact, Japan is a real mecca for a rare vinyl collector - so long as you're not after Japanese pressings! I couldn't find ANY 3" singles of western artists, for example, and Vinyl Japan is mostly an import store. Should have been the best shop in Soho, London, judging by the stock... Anyway, if I find good money in my matress or something like that, I for one am going to Tokyo in mid December. (I can dream, can't I?)
