Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flür distilled their cool synthesizer sound into compact pop songs; \"The Robots\" and \"The Model\" remain among their best-known tracks. \"The Model\" even reached No. 1 in the UK charts in early 1982. The red and black cover is inspired by the work of Russian constructivist El Lissitzky. This copy is the 1993 US reissue on Capitol Records (S11-56854 \/ SN-16302), produced through CEMA Special Markets, a division of Capitol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressing details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel \/ Cat. no.:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capitol Records – S11-56854 \/ SN-16302\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl, LP, Album, 33 ⅓ RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electronic\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e, Electro, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/synth-pop\"\u003eSynth-Pop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second hand\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia:\u003c\/strong\u003e NM-\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG+\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraded to Goldmine standard (see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/vinyl-grading\"\u003eVinyl Grading\u003c\/a\u003e).
