KRAFTWERK – The Man-Machine | Vintage Music Cassette

Product Description

Own a piece of electronic music history with this vintage Kraftwerk – The Man-Machine music cassette.

Originally released in 1978, The Man-Machine is one of Kraftwerk's most influential and important albums, featuring landmark electronic compositions including “The Robots,” “Spacelab,” “Metropolis,” “The Model,” “Neon Lights,” and “The Man-Machine.”

This particular copy has the character of a vintage Indian-market cassette release, making it especially interesting to collectors of Kraftwerk, early electronic music and Indian-issued international music cassettes.

The cassette retains its period artwork and plastic case. The packaging has substantial age-related wear, consistent with a vintage cassette that has been stored and handled over many years.
