Label looks like as glued label. So I’m pretty sure, that this release has nothing to do as a white label testpressing. Never. It’s a fake most.player release.

What's the difference (if any) between this and https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/12101812-Kraftwerk-The-Model-Computer-Love ?

Computer Love sounds like a very different mix to me, very different to the album version - especially the mixing and percussion (which cuts out/is mixed down intermittently), and the occasional 'whooshing' sort of sound (which is very high in the mix). Really interesting variant here..(or I might just have a weird pressing!)

“The Model” is great and all but “Computer Love” is an endearing masterpiece

My copy of this has - oddly- no run in groove to speak of on either side, making it very hard to put the needle to the start of the song.

Anybody knows what this "Re-mix" is about? Also "Computer Love" seems to be a bit longer than original around 7.20. Anybody knows the difference from original versions?

The hook for this song (Computer Love) was used in Coldplay's "Talk".
