June 27, 2024 - Four decades of Alphaville! Founded by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens, the pop band is one of the few German bands to have made a name for itself on the international music scene with hits such as "Big in Japan", "Forever Young" and "Sounds like a Melody", inspiring generations of fans and music enthusiasts. And this remains true up to today: This fall, the band's first career-spanning retrospective will be released: "ALPHAVILLE FOREVER! - BEST OF 40 YEARS" will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally from September 27, 2024 via Warner Music Central Europe - exactly 40 years to the day after the release of their debut album "Forever Young".
The 3-CD version (digipack) contains 40 tracks and a 20-page booklet including liner notes by Marian Gold and rare photos. The shortened LP version (180g) comes with a printed inner sleeve with credits and many photos as well as an exclusive poster in the limited first edition.
The special feature: Alphaville fans worldwide voted on the tracklist (digital + 3CD) in advance. Using a special voting tool, they were able to select their 40 favourite Alphaville songs, put them in the desired order and save them as a playlist.
