10 Speed - Tour de France (Radio Edit)

*The piece was also included in the 1984 film, Breakin'; also known as Breakdance internationally. Kraftwerk did not let the song appear on the movie soundtrack, so instead, a cover version of the song was released by a group called "10 Speed".

I could swear this song was on the original Breakin' (not "Breakdance") LP soundtrack. I had it, and I think either at the end of Side 1 or Side 2 (I really think it was at the end of Side 1) was "Tour de France" by 10 Speed (I remember it was written as "Tenspeed"). I can't find any reference on the Internet as to this mystery, why it's not listed on any existing LP's of the Breakin' soundtrack. I KNOW I had it on that record of mine, I'm not crazy; can someone back me up on this?

@meechamaka411 This version is also by kraftwerk but they used this name instead of kraftwerk.

Beautiful song. Thank you Discocaine for the information about Kraftwerk not letting their song appear on the movie sountrack. I would've said that it was the same. Thank you very much.

the track lengths in the picture are 6:23 and 4:25, this track is 3:53

...this must be the version on alex and the city crew "breakdace" record. i remember it from being a little kid.

btw the guys credited for words and music is kraftwork.

I have the LP record of "Breakdance" (10 speed version)", and the Kraftwork 12inch record as well.

I also have the Breakdance 1 and 2 LPs, and this is NOT on it.

I have the Breakdance 1 and 2 DVDs, and in the credits it says "Tour De France performed by Kraftwork".

If I'm not mistaken, this is the original version (of many) of TdF. I may be wrong though.
