50 years ago (24 October 1973), Kraftwerk released their third studio album, “Ralf & Florian”. It saw the group moving toward their signature electronic sound.
Along with Kraftwerk's first two albums, Ralf und Florian to date has never been officially re-issued anywhere. However, the album remains an influential and sought-after work, and bootlegged copies were widely distributed in the 1990s on the Germanofon label. In 2008, Fact named it among the 20 greatest ambient albums ever made.
