Description

Audio Vaults is releasing this unofficial Kraftwerk double CD set featuring radio and television recordings: the programme focuses on a show recorded in 1974 at the Grober Sendesaal Des Hessischen Rundfunk television studio/concert hall for Frankfurt radio station HR1, while the final bonus track comes from a 1973 German TV show for ZDF.
