Kraftwerk

RADIO-ACTIVITY

This auction is for a copy of the first Australian release of Kraftwerk’s fifth album, Radio-Activity. The follow up to the hugely successful, Autobahn, this is the band's first entirely electronic album is also a concept album organized around the themes of radioactive decay and radio communication. All releases of the album were bilingual, with lyrics in both English and German. The album has grown in stature since its release, hailed as a pivotal record in the group's continuing development, marking Kraftwerk's return to more obtuse territory, extensively utilizing static, oscillators, and even Cage-like moments of silence.

I will be listing several records over the coming weeks. These are from a private collection that has been in storage for a few years. The images used in the listings will always be the actual records for sale, stock images will not be used. Please note I will do my best to grade the condition of these records, but I am not a professional grader. If anything, the gradings will be conservative. All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.

I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one listing. The item will be packed carefully to ensure it arrives safely which may mean postage is a little higher, but I will only charge you the postage I pay. Local pick up will be from the Highett area, about 5 minutes from Southland Shopping Centre. Overseas buyers please note postage is based on weight and distance, which can make buying from Australia quite expensive.

All bids are final. Winning bidder please contact me within 3 days. Postage discounts will be offered if more than one auction has been won. Buyer is to pay all postage. Overseas bidders please note that there is an Australia Post surcharge to some countries; this is to be paid by the buyer. Email for accurate postal costs before bidding.

Good luck and happy bidding!
