New Kraftwerk boxet named 'Catalogue' 14 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 0  
I have been allways waiting for some japanese releases of Kraftwerk albums but it never came. One interesting release (november 2009) is their 'Catalogue' with 8 cd's in a beautiful packaging with a lot of artwork. Not exactly mini's but the cd's are packaged in some cardboard sleeves worth of mention. I bought this big boxset. Any of you ever saw some Kraftwerk japan mini"s ??? What about the russian releaeses we can see sometimes on Ebay ?

Hi Clodius,

Are the Kraftwerk "minis" square (same size all sides) or are they same size as digipaks / jewel cases (top and bottom longer than sides)?

As far as I know there are no Japanese mini Kraftwerk.

I have not seen the Russian Kraftwerk.

Sam.

Hi Sam

The Kraftwerk sleeves are square measuring 126mm x 126mm. The CD fits very tight inside consequently. You can see what the boxset looks like on Amazon by clicking 'Kraftwerk catalogue'. Even on Youtube you can find a lot of promotional clips about the boxset.

Yes Claude, the Kraftwerk Catalogue is spectacular. I preordered a copy as soon as I heard about it. The mastering (not remastering) is so clear that you would think that the original CD's were mastered in a room full of treacle (except for Tour De France Soundtracks, which to my humble ear, has not changed at all).
The 'mini' sleeves couldn't be classed as 'mini LP sleeves' as most have been changed.

What I would love to see, Kraftwerk-wise:

1. The Catalogue as a mini LP box set (original covers, of course.
2. The first 3 album remastered and put out on mini LP.
3. The Organisation album (pre-Kraftwerk output from Hutter & Schneider) mini LP (great artwerk! ha ha)
4. A Kraftwerk singles box set (a la Queen).

This is semi-related but anyone thinking of ordering the "Japanese" version of 'The Catalogue', be warned that it is the English version, directly imported from the EU. An obi and some liner notes have been added but that's all, so the if you buy it, you're paying a lot extra for an obi.

According to Pink Floyd Brain Damage site there were a few glitches with this release, the most notable being a misprinting of the inner bag for the second CD in "The Wall".

There are also cases of an album being missed out and duplicates in their places.

The later Japanese release of this box set is basically identical to this box set.

Poor quality fakes exist for this set - more details below.

The original Japanese individual releases are regarded as being of a much higher quality to either of these box sets.
