Description
Neu! ’75 is the third studio album by the krautrock band Neu!. It was recorded and mixed at Conny Plank’s studio between December 1974 and January 1975. It was released in 1975 by Brain Records, and officially reissued on CD on May 29, 2001 by Astralwerks in the US and by Grönland Records in the UK. Illegal bootleg CDs (derived from vinyl) had been available in the latter half of the 1990s on the Germanofon label. Dinger’s rock song “Hero” was an inspiration for many musicians of the time, including John Lydon of the Sex Pistols, and is since considered an example of proto-punk. David Bowie alludes to the album in his “Heroes” album. The band Negativland (named after a song on their first album) named their record label Seeland after the song on ’75.
