    Don't get me wrong, these reissues and the subsequent repressings are excellent, i've been more than happy with mine for many years but i recently picked up a NM German first pressing and had to compare them. It wasn't even close, the originals are punchier and way more dynamic, I'm also converted to listening to the original German language versions, they just work better to my ears. I would never tell anyone not to buy these reissues, as I said they are excellent and very affordable, but if you can get your hands on a German first press then do it, you will not regret it, they really are a level above.

        Yeah another +1 from me. All these 2009 reissues are superb.

        No need to search for originals if you grab these.

          Really a fantastic pressing, no surface noise no pop or cracks after playing it straight after opening it, with no cleaning or brushing. Plus the artwork it comes with is pretty neat, definitely would recomand!

            Awesome sound. This is a great for 2009. I wish I had more newer pressings like this. Super clean.

              I see that the 2009 editions have good press. I'm not complaining about my copy of this record. sounds clean and punchy.

                The pressing is ridiculously good, I'm still impressed by the depth of the sound even after a good 20 plays.

                  As with every Kling Klang release I own (3-D 2017, Trans-Europe Express 2009, Computer World 2009, Radio-Activity 2009, Autobahn 2009, and Techno Pop 2009) this pressing is fantastic. Very quiet on both sides with great dynamics. You'll be glad you picked up this edition, it's perfect.
