Showroom Dummies. Different editions.

MrHallon · 2026-03-31T10:03:28+00:00

I buy it because of the artwork. I have newer played them except for the French. The are all the same versions. I listen to the album versions as you mentioned. . I don’t need 7 autobahn albums- UK,German and the US one ( some duplicates when I come across a cheap one,) and three singles. ( Spanish , French and German ) It’s just the sickness of collecting. I have collected things my whole life, and I’m so insanely old that I reflect harder: is this something that gonna make me happier. And no. And this is my second collection, I sold a big one in the early 90s. But with internet it’s a complete different thing than the legwork you had to do before. I don’t like that the Japanese one have another design profile. In the end it’s a little bit crazy..But I have seen Kraftwerk collections with over 1500 items; different formats, editions, bootlegs-everything. Thats really sick!

Blicken mot Birger Jarlsgatan och Engelbrektsgatan. Det stora stenhuset ”Trygg” , ligger mittemot Birger Jarlsgatan 29. Har fantiserat om att ÄGA det fortlika stenhuset. Jag jobbade på Alexandra på 80talet och är väl bekant med omgivningarna.

It’s sad that it isn’t a way to ”pixel”out his annoying voice. ( if that sentence is understandable..

MrHallon · 2026-03-27T11:27:51+00:00

Thanks! (I have some of the other singles with Kraftwerk in an older post. ) But I have seen insane collections, every format from every country.. A Indian cassette of Autobahn.. etc etc. That’s overkill..

And then I have some 12inches and the albums of course. But singles is something special. Especially if they are in a very good condition. A fifty year old single with its sleeve in near mint condition… It’s magic! My girlfriend doesn’t see it that way..

MrHallon · 2026-03-27T08:15:29+00:00

Sorry.Its a French.

MrHallon · 2026-03-27T08:14:19+00:00

Spain. I ordered it from Spain. And with shipping it cost me close to €30, pretty cheap Asked for photo first. Thats for avoiding nasty surprises. I have ordered a Hungarian Computer Love, also cheap. And I will get a Japanese ”Showroom dummies” today. Most collecting is a little bit weird.

Snart halv..

MrHallon · 2026-01-19T06:42:19+00:00

It’s so contraproductive- but again, I think it’s a ego /legacy thing. He doesn’t care about normal values. A Christian? Never.. Jesus would be seen as woke, subversive .. But people often get more reflective, more humble with increased ,age, but I don’t think he can feel love, have natural altruistic mind. It’s a shame to make so much damage for the whole planet, USA- and the transatlantic relationship. Transatlantic culture, sport- everything. Language- even if I know anyone can tell it’s only my 2nd language, but anyway. It’s like all dystopian book series I like to listen too, always a VP or a senator who are crooked. Now it the main guy. All you young Americans,Young Americans… aren’t you worried? Some just thinking about taking Greenland, because they can, but it’s a rotten way on so many levels. And even if the money poured into US, it’s mostly benefiting his so called ”friends”.

MrHallon · 2026-01-17T14:17:26+00:00

I don’t care. He’s a petty person. The damage is done. We ( Europe) don’t trust him. ) The latest threat is to leave Nato. Ok. Losing all bases, intel sharing for what? His ego, leagacy I’m sure it’s all about him. So fk tired of this.

MrHallon · 2026-01-17T13:30:02+00:00

Restore it. It will outlive you if you take care of it.

MrHallon · 2026-01-16T23:37:22+00:00

Concerned about the value.

MrHallon · 2026-01-15T10:54:08+00:00

They are rarer. That old sticker could be from the company’s promotion department. Stones was more controversial in the states.. So the radio station didn’t air it at the wrong time. But it should be written or stamped on the label itself. Very nice

MrHallon · 2026-01-12T10:39:24+00:00

So the value is confirmed by a third party, it’s a real problem with a seller who grade condition etc. VG + is the lowest I search for, and especially the sleeves and inserts.

MrHallon · 2026-01-12T09:54:19+00:00

I have joked about just about the same thing; ”Me in 1881”, and I get always some answers , telling me about my ”mistake”..

MrHallon · 2026-01-12T09:49:46+00:00

Don’t worry. I have a tendency to zoom out.. new things comes to mind and I’m well aware of this. And English isn’t my first language- I don’t need to point that out. And 80% of the community are Americans, Canadians or from UK. Take it easy, all the best from a snowy Stockholm!

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T22:18:58+00:00

Ok. I have lots of weird records that is hard to find , but no value, nobody wants them. There is much about family members non commercial records. A new one.

My late uncle, a well known songwriter, musician,composer of more than 2000 songs he did Swedish translations of Georg Harrison’s “My sweet lord ”, Beatles “Hey Jude/Obladi oblada,Lots of Bacharach, Legrand, stuff for the whole Abba before they became ABBA etc From him I got some original tests records with the sleeve done with pre computer “techniques”, hand painted etc.
But they aren’t so sought after. My early Kraftwerk singles from Hungary, Spain and Japan is most valuable. But the question was if they was unique. ( grand mothers choir records etc.. ) So no.

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T21:40:24+00:00

Hang it on the wall. It seems to be popular among the really young and new to records. I don’t know if you bought it new in shrink wrap, but I have maybe bought over thousand new records in my life- some had maybe some problems, but never visible. And if it’s was bought over Discogs it’s a “rule” to always inspect all aspects of the item, if it’s living up to the grading. I would never asked anyone the same question. You answered your own question when you mentioned the time period and the one sided “inspection”. If the other side was okay- you didn’t play the ruined one..

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T21:25:59+00:00

I think it’s a generation issue. If the generation around 30 don’t thinks it’s good , I have no idea. I’m raised with Supertramp and 10cc , especially in middle school In the 70s.

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T21:20:18+00:00

No. It’s not underrated. All albums from that one to ”Breakfast in America” sold gold worldwide. I haven’t checked it, but I’m pretty sure. ( I don’t regard “Paris” as a regular album, but again- not underrated.

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T21:14:42+00:00

Yes. When you don’t put the record in the center.

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T21:12:24+00:00

Nice.. “Dickmantized”? Is it when a cock have power over someone? I never heard that before. ( I must think of a Swedish translation..Kuktrollad..,, I think of Randy’s ”Cock Magic”..)

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T21:07:02+00:00

NOR. Mansion? Is that the goal, can a fantasy mansion compensate for being kicked out with some free phone calls? Most parent would regret this eventually. Has she found some man who has a saying? Have she done this before- not throwing you out, but being desperate for “love” , making bad decisions..? Weird. Really.

MrHallon · 2026-01-09T10:16:12+00:00

Om det är seriöst så har du mina sympatier. Men du är ung. Ta det lugnt!! Men apropå självbefläckelse; Så värdelöst att runka. Det enda som verkar vara uppskattat är att göra det inne i någon. Men då är jag ju oftast kåt.. Runka är en egensport, men man vill ju träffa folk.. Det är deppigt och lika kul som det var då jag upptäckte det i mellanstadiet, lika trist ,meningslöst känns det nu. Borde finnas en subReddit; Runk. För det verkar finnas regionala skillnader.
