Or go right back, all the way to the jazzier/krautier Organization album 'Tone Float'. Sounds nothing like later 'classic' Kraftwerk, but worth a listen. Full Album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-wNx-6mMkU
I'd go for anything post Autobahn and pre Electric Cafe (though there are a couple lovers of it on HH as I recall). Trans Europe Express, Radioactivity, Man Machine and Computer World are all excellent. My personal fav is still the proto techno of Computer World.

Riders (40th) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbx6gULYNbc
Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Logic
Always my fav SFA record, closely followed by Radiator. Did they pre-empt the alt folk revival with 'Gathering Moss'? Probably not but still love it.

I thought the Trash Box was a screw up, they appear to have turned up the treble to uncomfortable position. & sound quality isn't great.
I bought it years ago and haven't listened to it much since.
There were Pebbles cds that cover the same material with better sound. I think The Trash box pretty much corresponds to the first few volumes of the Pebbles series in terms of tracklisting, though maybe not in the same order.
Anyway, I found it a major disappointment.

It's the 5 CD box set version I have. Like yourself, not heard it in an age.
I get what you're saying about the treble boost, but if you think of how many of these tracks would have been recorded, I don't think the sound is too bad overall. I almost prefer it to the Nuggets Box, as a lot of the tracks are from the grottier side of the trax, shall we say.
I love the way about 60% (slight exaggeration)seem to be based on Paul Reveres version of Stepping Stone in various ways.

Monganaut, thesweetcheat, cheers ! I found Kraftwerk 1 and 2 on youtube and quite enjoyed them, not knowing much about the band Im puzzled why they seem to have disowned them as I think they're pretty cool, and cheers for the heads up , I've got more investigation to do :)
