Alphaville collector’s items & pressings
For collectors, special 7'' and 12'' vinyl editions of Alphaville are particularly interesting, as many releases were produced as promo pressings or in country-specific variants. In addition to regular albums, there are numerous maxis and singles that were released in small quantities. Editions that differ from the standard pressings, such as those with alternative covers or exclusive remixes, are especially sought after.
