"Ruckzuck", "Klingklang", "Vom Himmel Hoch" & "Stratovarius" from the UK double album "Kraftwerk" (LP: 6641 077) that combined Kraftwerk's first two albums.
"Tongebirge" & "Kristallo" from the album "Ralf & Florian" (LP: 6360 616)
"Autobahn" & "Comet Melody 2" from the album "Autobahn" (LP: 6360 620)

A1 is misspelt "Ruckzack" on back cover and label. The opening flute-echo intro of the original album track has been cut.
A2 is the heavily-edited version that was a UK top 20 hit in 1975.
B1 is credited as "Comet Melody 2" on the back cover and "Comet Melody 2 (Kometenmelodie II)" on the label. It is the version released as a single in 1975, that has the original middle section edited out.
B2 is an extended extract that starts 1:38 into the original track.
B3 is misspelt "Vom Himmell Hoch" on the label. It is the opening and closing sections of the original, linked with a cross fade.
B4 is a short extract of the final section of the original track.

Differs from the French release in that small cameo images of the UK releases of their albums are printed on the back cover, bottom left corner, along with catalog info.

All matrices are stamped, except "PR" is etched.
