    Stunning and clean pressing. No surface noise as played on my Linn Sondek LP12

      I have just played my copy received yesteday and it plays terribly on side 1 with lots of crackles and interference in isolated areas. No improvement after cleaning. Side 2 plays fine. Wish I had seen the review as below as I had already left for the seller on eBay, the copy was sealed.

        Absolutely disastrous noise on this one.
        All others from this series sound fine.
        Europa Endlos has hideous ripping and tearing noise throughout.
        Multiple cleanings improved nothing.
        Horrendous press.
        Hoping the replacement is better.
        If they are all like this, reviewers are out of their minds saying this is top quality.

        *edit*

        Rarewaves came through with a replacement copy.
        Absolutely wonderful.
        Can’t say enough for their customer service!

        Got a bum copy, but glad to know it was just isolated.

          What a gorgeous sounding album. The entire package, including the vinyl, booklet, cover and inner are all beautifully produced.

            Some of the quietest vinyl I have ever heard. Das Album ist Zeitlos!!!!

              Superb sounding reissue. Brings back memories of 80s video game music

                Nothing but perfection. There was nothing anywhere close to this in 1977. One of my favorite Kraftwerk albums. It's sooooo continental! This vinyl version is CLEAN! Superb sound!

                  Immaculate release both sonically and visually. The releases in this reissue campaign have been outstanding.

                    Excellent. Superb sound quality, cool vinyl colour and great overall package with artwork. And musically superb. Still sounds completely fresh and original today.

                      Another fantastic sounding Kraftwerk repress (The Man Machine sounds great as well). An absolute steal for just over £20 given the excellent packaging.
