COOL! I have never even heard of Robotronik, and I'm a big Kraftwerk fan. I have always concentrated on the albums...

@BWOparadise Cool! I have been a fan of them for nearly all my 36 years of life. Kraftwerk is just the best thing that ever happend to music culture! I'm so glad you enjoy it.

It is Robotnik, Robotronik is only 4:51 minutes long, I have the original vinyl 12" and also the CD Single.

@minimomaximo maybe I have the cd with tiltle errors? However,  The Lp that I have contains the same information! Could I have gotten the wrong information twice between 12 year in searching? I am confused! I mean, we all know that Kraftwerk did not make any mention of the titled songs through the lyrics but when the companies get their hands on the material, they tend to make any mistake they can. I just don't know anymore and I wish I knew. Thanks to you my friend.

@alwerks1 if the picture you're showing on the video is from the cd you're playing, maybe it was a bootleg cd or a pirate one, you seem to buy imports from the internet and noone can really trust the sources, the original cover was a lime green/yellow gradient and your cover seems a dark yellow. Or maybe you have different singles that were not pressed on regular cds.

@minimomaximo Actually the audio quality is wonderful on the my cd version. The songs are the same as in my LP. I know what you mean about the cover artwork. You must know that when I make a scan of this picture to my computer, it will look a bit different. I also bought Radioactivity single from the same site. They both sound beautiful.

As I know (as well) there is a 1991 US 3-track promo 12" labelled KRAFTWERK Robotnik. Featuring:

1. Robotnik - Kling Klang Extended Mix 7:50

2. The Robots - Single Edit 3:43

3. Robotronik - Kling Klang Mix 4:41

@alwerks1 Yes, it is Robotnik. It is posted on Kraftwerk's official MySpace page. There could be printing errors on some copies. It is easy to mix those names up. I'm sure there were probably some pressing plants that fucked up. :-) The UK 12" of The Robots remix that I have is credited to "Ralph" Hutter. :-) But all of the other copies that I have seen have this song listed as Robotnik.

What I've always found odd about this single is the cover errors.

I have both versions of the CD with different covers and the sound on them is exactly the same, I can confirm it. I am not sure which is rarer but I know one is.

They both also make the mistake of labelling one track 'The Robots (Single edit)' but it's actually another version of one of the other tracks on the single.
