Kraftwerk: Ralf & Florian (1973)
This is Kraftwerk's third LP, released in Germany under the title Ralf und Florian. All CD versions of this record are bootlegs. As well, there are plenty of unofficial releases of this LP. I have the legitimate 1975 US Santa Maria reissue. The 1975 reissue corrects the typo on the original 1973 pressing. My version sells for much less than the original German pressing, of which there are lots of fakes.
I absolutely love this LP. I also very much like the rear photo, about which Wikipedia says: "The colour photograph on the back of the cover gives a vivid impression of the bohemian state of Kraftwerk's own facilities at the time – including egg-box trays pasted, nailed, or stuck on the walls as acoustic treatment."
