FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original was released on WEA in 1984. This copy is Rhino's remastered 2019 reissue on 180g vinyl.

What does 180g mean?
It refers to the weight of the record. Heavier vinyl sits more steadily on the platter and is less prone to warping than a standard pressing of around 120 to 140g.

Is the record new?
Yes. The record is new and factory sealed, so it has not been opened or played.

Do you have more Alphaville records?
Yes, for example Alphaville – Eternally Yours, Alphaville – The Breathtaking Blue or Alphaville – Afternoons In Utopia. More titles are in our Synth-Pop collection.
