    OK, hopefully you’re a Kraftwerk collector / specialist and you’re checking this out. You may or may not know more about this item  -  I’ve trawled the internet and come up with NO info about a BLACK VINYL version of this 12” Single.  I’ve contacted various KRAFTWERK websites and the people running them have said this is some sort of ‘miss-press’, or ‘special test pressing’ or alike. It shouldn’t exist, but IT DOES !!  The only thing I know is back in 1978 I used to buy alot of my vinyl from mail order shops around the UK. I CANNOT remember what shop this was from  -  I think it might’ve been Adrians of Wickford, but it could’ve been Rough Trade or even Small Wonder  -  anyway, I DO remember being well disappointed on finding the vinyl to be ‘ordinary’ Black and not the ‘special’ Luminous vinyl I had paid for and was expecting. I guessed at the time that the Luminous edition must’ve been Limited and thought it had run out and gone onto Black vinyl and I’d ‘missed out’. How wrong I was !!!!    

PLEASE NOTE:  There IS now some information on the DISCOGS Website of this BLACK 12" BUT  this appeared on 2nd May 2015 and was posted by a Kraftwerk Website person that I'd got in contact with about this Record. He posted MY photos onto Discogs.  IT IS THIS COPY !!  Please check the 'Question and Answer' section at the bottom of this listing where I made a note of this.  So far, this is the only BLACK copy known to exist.  Thanks for the people telling me they have 'found it' on Discogs, but it's MINE !!  Cheers,  CLIVE.

    The vinyl is in EX+ condition having been played like a couple of times all that time ago and then carefully filed away.  The Cover is in EX+ condition too.  

 SLEEVE and LABELS both look normal and as for the run-off info :

Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, hand-etched): 12-YCL-15998+A

Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, hand-etched): 12-YCL 15998+B   (with a little ‘OR’ near it)

      Now, this Super, Mega Rare One-Off / Unique KRAFTWERK item is available for you to bid for. I have no idea of the value  -  there’s no other available for sale that I’m aware of ANYWHERE and I can’t find any information for one that’s been sold before.  So, for these reasons I’m using the ‘make me an offer’ option of ebay and we’ll just have to see what happens. Sure, the initial £2,000 ‘Buy It Now’ price WAS crazy, and after checking out some offers and emails I received last time, it's now on for £1,250. This is a One-Off / Unique Kraftwerk Original GENUINE Record and this is your one and only chance to own it. Ask more questions if you like and please feel free to make me some serious offers  -  BUT DON’T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY !! 

PLEASE NOTE :  IT'S ONLY ON FOR 10 DAYS THIS TIME !!

Kept lovingly in my record collection in a smoke free home.

SHIPPING 

OK, now the horrible P&P charges.  Due to certain ‘not so good’ ebayers in the past (especially from  overseas) saying items have been ‘lost’, etc, I will only send my precious Records SIGNED FOR.  This of course is VERY expensive, (check the Royal Mail Website UK – nothing to do with me !!), but it’s the only way I can get piece of mind (for both of us) and guarantee items get to buyers. I am sorry for these prices (and I know it will put some people off bidding) but I was losing out on P&P and something had to be done. But being a fellow record collector, be sure that I mail everything using STURDY, THICK Cardboard for LP’s and 7” singles. Check my feedback for the quality of my vinyl AND my packaging. Thank you.  FOR THIS ITEM I WILL 'OVER PACK' IT AND INSURE IT TOO.
