Tracks A2 & B1 published by Famous-Chappell Music Ltd./Gema

"Ruckzuck", "Klingklang", "Vom Himmel Hoch" & "Stratovarius" from the UK double album "Kraftwerk" (LP: 6641 077) that combined Kraftwerk's first two albums.
"Tongbirge" & "Kristallo" from the album "Ralf & Florian" (LP: 6360 616)
"Autobahn" & "Comet Melody 2" from the album "Autobahn" (LP: 6360 620)

A1 is misspelt "Ruckzack" on back cover and label. The opening flute-echo intro of the original album track has been cut.
A2 is the heavily-edited version that was a UK top 20 hit in 1975.
B1 is credited as "Comet Melody 2" on the back cover and "Comet Melody 2 (Kometenmelodie II)" on the label. It is the version released as a single in 1975, that has the original middle section edited out.
B2 is an extended extract that starts 1:38 into the original track.
B3 is misspelt "Vom Himmell Hoch" on the label. It is the opening and closing sections of the original, linked with a cross fade.
B4 is a short extract of the final section of the original track.

Differs from the French release in that small cameo images of the UK releases of their albums are printed on the back cover, bottom left corner, along with catalog info.

well to complete my previous comment . there is definitely 2 periods in kraftwerk; after and before 1975; with and without fantastic sound engineer Konrad "conny"Plank. and frankly that probably makes all the difference. Before 1975 kraftwerk had not his own kling klang studio and did not paly totally with synthetizer but thankfull to Plank it has this incredible raw electronic sound....which is far better for me than the post 1975 sound (radioactivity, trans europe express etc...).So that makes this compilation really worth and essential. i am not found of compilations. But this one is a monument. And kraftwerk should have continued with Plank. definitly. Schneider, the band leader considered this pre-1975 as "archeology "and was reluctant to release the albums before 1975!!!! But he completely deny the work of Plank, which is obvious. "Radioactivity" sound is far less raw than "autobahn" and "kraftwerk" 1&2!!!
