Lucky bugger. Worth a packet I imagine, but not surprised Mr Matten has it.
But what can he do with it? I think it's extremely odd in the first place that Conny Plank made a copy for anyone alse but Kraftwerk. Reason to fire him, were he not deceased.
It was done for only private use and know one could imagine, taht Autobahn would be the prototype of elektropop-(music).
Secondly, I don't think Dirk Matten can do anything with the content of the tape but listen to it in private, or return it to R&F, if it's different from the final album. (Is it different, Dirk?) If it's a copy of the finally released album it's just that, but a very nice relic of course.
It sounds different with much more power, better frequency response, no single ended noise reduction. More original to the moment of playing than the final product. It was made from the original cut&paste tapes and I was in the studio, when Conny Plank did his job. What is this worth? Each "piece of art" which goes to a museum, must have an insurance. Any ideas?
