Neu! Vinyl Box - Unreleased Album and Maxi-Single (2010)

This May, Groenland Records released a limited edition Neu! Vinyl Box. Krautrock fans who were lucky enough to get hold of a copy were treated to 4 vinyl LPs & 1 vinyl maxi-single, viz: the three original studio albums Neu!, 2 and '75 plus an official release (at last) of "fourth album" Neu! '86. AND… if that wasn't enough, an eighteen minute live maxi-single recorded in 1972. Marvellous!



There was also a 36-page booklet & a sticker (it says "stencil" on Michael Rother's website, so perhaps I got that wrong… ho-hum!)



According to the record label's blurb: "The NEU! "Vinyl Box" is a complete retrospective of one of the most influential German bands of the seventies. In addition to the three original NEU! studio albums the package contains two additional vinyls, appearing for the first time officially. The album NEU! `86 contains never before released material, revised by Michael Rother as well as the most recent studio recordings of both musicians. "NEU! '72 non-public test" is a stunning and previously unheard live recording of the band in Dusseldorf.

Klaus Dinger's and Michael Rother's music has left its mark on generations of musicians and international influences - bands like Sonic Youth, U2, Radiohead and Primal Scream amongst many others, all owe a creative debt to NEU!, not to mention their impact on the electronic music of the last twenty years."
