All I can really tell you is I'm torrenting it from an unsavory web site at this very moment (still an hour to go as there are only two seeders). And, a bit more googling found the following post on a message board ( http://ilx.wh3rd.net/thread.php?msgid=7089852) by somebody who sounds like he knows what's what: ok got the boot in the mail. it's a CD called 'Kraftwerk - K4'. though it says 'Radio Bremen', this is the Köln gig again, the same bootleg that's been circulating for years, most recently on LP as 'Ruckzuck', linked above except unlike the previous issues which sound like 4th dubs of something recorded off the radio onto a bad cassette -- this seems like it's the original board recording. studio fidelity, mastered at the correct speed, and with about 25 minutes of extra material -- two extra songs, and no fades -- 69 minutes. I nearly started a new thread on this, it's the Kraftneu album -- Rother in full on Sabbath mode, the first album stripped to relentless one chord guitar jams, always accellerating.

If anybody wants to jump into the torrent, I might be able to send you an invite to the site (unless there's a huge response). It's on Oink. Please email me directly if you're looking for an invite. I'll need an email address to send it to so you can set up an account. -Shane
