German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk have announced they will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their iconic Autobahn album with reissues on three different formats through Parlophone Records on March 7.
Originally released in Germany on the Phillips label in November 1974, Autobahn transformed Kraftwerk from art-rock cult act to unlikely left-field pop stars. A three-minute edit of the title song hit the Top Ten in Germany and 11 in the UK while reaching Number 25 in the US. The album was also a worldwide success, reaching Number 4 in Britain, Number 5 in the US and Canada, and Number 7 in Germany.
