Description


KRAFTWERK 12" SINGLE :  "Computer Love" b/w "The Model"       12 EMI 5207

1st UK pressing (1981) on the EMI label.


LIKE NEW copy of this electronic experimental gem.  A rare collectible indeed.


"Computer Love" rocketed to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, here pressed as the original extended 7 minute 15 second album version. 


An interesting historical note:  The melody of "Computer Love" was later used in Coldplay's song "Talk", with Kraftwerk's permission.


German band Kraftwerk pioneered a highly artistic era of electronic music.  

The band, originally known as Organisation, debuted live at the Tivoli Popfestival in Aachen, Germany in July of 1970 and quickly thereafter developed an avid fan base.

Band leader Ralf Hutter is joined on this release by co-founder Florian Schneider, Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur.

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

Wax is play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
