Ralf has said that he wants to do it, but:
a) there may be a new album getting in the way
b) there may be more touring getting in the way
c) the tapes, being older, may take much longer to remaster.

Any more news on first three albums reissued?

Katalog is a masterpiece, Meisterstück. Kraftwerk's opus magnum.
Those, who understand music only as a stream of bits in mp3 file are
definitelty not able to understand it. But those, whose hands shaking with
emotions while opening an envelope with a vinyl or CD with favourite music,
undoubtedly know what I mean.

Where did the buzz go?

Mmm, I'm not sure I find sound quality greatly improved compared to the old
CD's. True, the new ones are louder, compared to the old ones.
Argh, what did they do to Radioaktivität! Every time the whiplash sounds the
rest of the mix... "dulls". That is really REALLY awful!
And they removed the nice 50Hz buzz in Intermission/News! Shame!

the instrumentation and production is different to the Autobahn

However, I'm desperatly looking to buy this single for my collection
and it seems it's quite rare, never seen a copy on Ebay or similar.

Well, it was kind of fun. Allthough I thought the Krautrock documentary
was a bit cut and paste. Interesting to hear about close ties between
Amon Duul and Bader-Meinhof, but it wasn't explored in any way. And nice
words on Kraftwerk, but a few clips from the old Hutter-interview and a
short Dusseldorf tour by Wolfgang just touched the surface.

Obviously EMI has a big say - too big in my opinion. EMI seems to be
spitting out remasters by the bucket right now - Beatles, Radiohead,
Kraftwerk. For lack of current topacts, they start flogging their
backcatalogue now. They are stuck in a loop and try the same trick over
