Alphaville: Forever Young Die Version auf Vinyl LP in remastered Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Rhino Records (2) am 22. März 2019.

After January 12, 1984, the world of pop was never the same: on that day, Alphaville released "Big In Japan", launching an incredible triumphal march around the world with their debut single. Not only did the song instantly reach number one on the charts in Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the US Billboard Dance Charts, but it also went straight into the Top 10 in the UK and many other countries around the world. In Germany, it became the best-selling single of 1984! And yet it was only the start of a much bigger adventure: after the worldwide success of the first single Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens recorded the album "Forever Young", which still enjoys international cult status today. Now the legendary album is released in a super deluxe edition with three CDs, a DVD and vinyl, as well as a deluxe double CD with the original singles, B-sides and maxi versions and as a vinyl LP. All formats present the album for the first time in remastered form. Prior to the release of the original album, the second single "Sounds Like A Melody" was released and again reached #1 in Sweden and Top 10 in several European countries (Germany #3). Along with the album, the title track "Forever Young" was released on September 27, 1984, causing a worldwide sensation and has been one of the world's biggest pop anthems ever since. Perhaps no other song has been covered so often and in all genres (from Imagine Dragons to rapper Jay-Z to Kim Wilde) and used in films and TV shows. The album "Forever Young" broke into the Top 20 in six European countries, won triple gold status in Germany and was awarded the Rockbjörnen Award for "Best Foreign Album" in Sweden. The super deluxe version presents the album in high quality remastered sound with lots of additional material. CD 1 contains the remastered original album with the songs "Big In Japan", "Sounds Like A Melody" and "Forever Young". CD 2 features the original versions of the singles, b-sides and maxisingly. CD 3 contains 16 rarities demos and alternate versions and even early German-language Alphaville tracks. The DVD includes the 60-minute documentary "Never Grow Up - The Story of Forever Young" with actual interviews with Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, original album producers Colin Pearson and Wolfgang Loos, as well as the original music videos for "Forever Young", "Big In Japan", "Jet Set" and "Sounds Like A Melody". A 24-page vinyl-sized booklet completes the package. Created by the original album's art director in close collaboration with the band, it features a number of rare and previously unpublished photographs, as well as sleeve notes, quotes and production notes from the band, then A&R and producer. "Producing the 'Forever Young' album was a great adventure at the time and the result was almost perfect for us. We focused on a vinyl album because in 1984, CD mastering was still in its infancy. Luckily I managed to find all the original analogue tapes, which were only recorded as security at the time. Thanks to the new mastering, the album now sounds much warmer, rounder and more transparent - just as we imagined it would back then," says Bernhard Lloyd. The 2-CD deluxe version of "Forever Young" consists of CD 1 and CD 2 of the super deluxe edition. In addition, the original album is remastered on 180 gram vinyl and is thus available on LP for the first time in many years.
