>>Hmm, I've been to both, strange that I've never spotted it... The thing about collecting is that you ALWAYS have to keep your eyes WIDE open ;o) If you go in to Reckless... it's on your right on the shelf... Must be about the 2nd or 3rd "object" on that shelf. Remember there are 2 Reckless shops! In Sister Ray.. Go in... turn left... look up at the wall now in front of you... about 2-o-clock you should see it. With that MASSIVE price ticket! Have fun and always.... Keep Werking John www.keepwerking.co.uk

>>Can I just ask, is this collection of 12s only worth a lot of money if you have the actual box? Prices for individual 12's go for Â£20 - Â£50 Prices for Box set go for between 100-200 Though.... collecting is a funny thing... and what people pay is even funnier. Picking the individual 12's up for Â£5 was most certainly a good buy. Right now "Reckless Records" in London has the box set near the front of the shop on a shelf.. they want Â£100 for it. "Sister Ray" (a little further down the same street) want Â£500 for the copy they have. Though it must be pointed out that it has been on their wall for a VERY long time now... I would have thought they would have taken the hint by now! ;o) Anyway..... Keep Werking John www.keepwerking.co.uk

I picked up the home computer 12", but found out later it is a bootleg, so watch out for those.

Seems Kling Klang is distrubuting some toys to the baby werkers... http://www.ciao.com/produkte/469812.html Kling Klang Krokodil Yes, this is a joke, and I know what Kling Klang means, but I found it amusing, and somewhat KW related. ________________________ omegaChance http://www.omegaChance.tk

Re: Stiff audience? (was: [Kraftwerk] Intro/outro)

[sorry about bad quotation, this is sent from a quirky webmail client] It's not so much that I don't like the tracks. Autobahn is by far the world's greatest reggae-beat ever. I just think that they, in absense of new material, should bring forth more of the old classics in stead. For a bit of variety. I don't mind romantic influences. There are at least two or three amazing tracks on the rest of the TEE album that would lend themselves great to doing new and updated versions. / petter -----Original Message----- From: kraftwerk(a)gmx.net To: kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 04:41:40 +0200 (MEST) Subject: Re: Re: Stiff audience?

Now you have started a new flame war ;-). I believe TEE is a song with many romantic influences and that is once of the important facts about Kraftwerk for me. Romantic influences in the songs (as Wolfgang also mentions). Greetz, Jan :-) -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
