A New Blog Feature - Put The Needle On The Record

We have a new Weekly blog feature for you, in which we highlight a classic album in the White Lion Radio vault, the feature is called "Put The Needle On The Record Week".

Put The Needle On The Record - Week #1

I think we all have albums we have n't played in years and this feature, is a good idea, that hopefully, will encourage you to play the featured album we choose each week.

To start things off we have "The Man Machine" by Kraftwerk, the first Kraftwerk LP I bought, released in 1978 (I bought the album in 1979 after hearing "Neon Lights" played on BBC Radio 1), the album features 6 tracks, including the singles "The Robots" which failed to make the UK Singles chart, "Neon Lights", which peaked at number 53 in the UK charts and of course "The Model", which was a hit in 1981 after it appeared on the Kraftwerk single "Computer Love" as a B side, DJ's started playing "The Model" and as such it was released as a single in its own right and reached number 1 in the UK singles chart.

The album peaked at number 9 in the UK Album Charts in 1982, some 4 years after its initial release.
