Kraftwerk Vinyl Records

Kraftwerk on Vinyl

Kraftwerk is a band from Düsseldorf, founded by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in 1970. With “Autobahn” (1974) they achieved their international breakthrough, and with “Trans Europa Express” (1977), “Die Mensch-Maschine” (1978) and “Computerwelt” (1981) they invented the sound of electronic pop music. Without Kraftwerk, synth-pop, electro, techno and parts of hip-hop would not exist in their current form.

Here you'll find Kraftwerk records, mainly used original pressings from Germany, England, France and the USA, German and English versions of the albums, as well as 7″ and 12″ singles. Every record is graded to the Goldmine standard, and the images show the actual copy.
