Kraftwerk announce colour vinyl reissues of their '12345678' catalogue

Kraftwerk have announced that Parlophone Records will be reissuing their 2009-released ‘12345678’ remasters catalogue on colour vinyl for the first time.

Set for limited release on October 9, each remaster in the 2009 catalogue will be made available as an individual and limited-edition heavyweight LP — most of which have never been pressed on coloured vinyl before.

The UK LPs subject to this reissue are ‘Autobahn’, ‘Radio-Activity’, ‘Trans Europe Express’, ‘The Man-Machine’, ‘Computer World’, ‘Techno Pop’, ‘The Mix’ and ‘Tour De France’.

Six German Kraftwerk LPs — five of which are the German language versions, with the other being ‘Radio-Activät’ (which features German song titles on the artwork but the same audio as the UK pressing) — are also being reissued.
