Kraftwerk is the debut studio album by German electronic band Kraftwerk. It was released in Germany in 1970, and produced by Konrad "Conny" Plank. Chief Kraftwerk members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider used two drummers during the recording of the album; Andreas Hohmann and Klaus Dinger. Their playing provides the music with a rock edge

Formerly known as Organisation, Kraftwerk debuted live as the trio of Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider-Esleben and Charly Weiss at the Tivoli Popfestival, Aachen on 11 July 1970. Klaus Dinger took over as drummer after that. Gigs between 26 December 1970 and 30 July 1971 omitted Hutter, with various line-ups including Michael Rother and others.

Former Kraftwerk percussionist Karl Bartos features in the new issue of Uncut (February 2013, Take 189), out now, discussing the upcoming Kraftwerk retrospective shows in London, and his own new solo album, Off The Record. As a companion piece, here’s Ralf Hütter taking us through the high points of Kraftwerk’s discography in a fascinating ‘album by album’ from Uncut’s October 2009 issue (Take 149). He might have spent most of the past two decades cocooned in the Kubrickian perfectionism of his secret Kling Klang studio in Düsseldorf, but Kraftwerk’s Ralf Hütter is on unusually

10‘Kraftwerk’ (1970) Kraftwerk’s debut album barely exists. It’s been quietly ushered out of the official records by de facto leader Hütter and certainly won’t be making an appearance at the Turbine Hall anytime soon. It’s not tearing up any trees in the 31st century electronica stakes, but it’s still a fascinating record. More of a full band at this point, Kraftwerk are skirting around the edges of free jazz on ‘Ruckzuck’ – with Schneider mucking about on the flute, of all things, and not for the last time – and getting motorik on the epic ‘Stratovarius’

Kraftwerk's sound is minimalistic and strictly electronic; it combines driving, repetitive rhythms with catchy melodies and vocals usually sung through a vocoder.

Got into Kraftwerk after listening to "Trans-Europe Express", and had to get the whole box after listening to "Autobahn". What I will speak to is the packaging itself. Second the packaging for the albums is pristine, with individual coverlets for each album with the front and back artwork preserved. Third, included are 8x8 booklets of artwork and lyrics to accompany each album. Don't expect liner notes, but just fun to look at while listening to each album.

Notes

This is the first reissue from the mid 70s.
The gatefold cover is the same as with the first press, but the labels and the matrix numbers are slightly different.

Different label printings do exist.
Either the labels are printed directly on the vinyl in blue and silver only or they have the usual paper labels. In the middle, there is an unprinted plain black circle around the center whole.

Cone printed with neon orange ink on smooth (but unlaminated) white cardboard.

Inner side of the gatefold sleeve has a main photograph by concept artist-photographers Bernd + Hilla Becher, famous for their series of multiple images of industrial architecture.

The smaller photos of the musicians were taken at the Essen "Grugahalle" Pop & Blues Festival (2 May 1970) when Hütter & Schneider-Esleben were performing in proto-Kraftwerk band Organisation.

Recorded & remixed July-September 1970. Originally released late autumn 1970.

Made in Germany

Groll
I have a copy with 6305 058 catalog# what has same labels as the first one (without black black circle around the center) but the matrix numbers are "10 AA 6305058 2Y 320 AL 2" on side A and "10 AA 6305058 2Y 320 2 AG" on side B. It is same like this copy or has the different matrix# any significance?
