Kraftwerk cassettes

Kraftwerk (Poland, 199?) Unofficial TomZo 0090 The Polish takeover continues with another pirate cassette, today it's a compilation!

I have of course touched upon the fact earlier, that some of these cassettes look genuinely baffling, some quite hideous, but today's example I find rather pretty actually. It's green, as visible from the pictures, and the green background compliments the original yellow album design nicely while also being of a quieter tasteful style compared with some of the more garish eye-catching co...
