NOTHING...i repeat NOTHING on the radio sounded like this on the radio when this song came out. to say that the odd sounds, bleeps, blips, computer drums and the robotic sounding vocals changed all my conceptions of music is an understatement. i could have substituted a number of other Kraftwerk songs in place of this one, but Pocket Calculator will always have sentimental value. upon hearing this on the radio while visiting my family in Detroit (before my immediate family moved here), i raised such a fuss about it that my grandmother took me to KMart (yes, they used to sell records! 45s at that!) and bought it for me. this is a rip from the record she bought me WAY back then. the clear plastic cover is still intact, lol.
