the release of "neu! 4" exacerbated the disagreements between rother and dinger, which prevented an official cd release of the three classic neu! albums until 2001. despite this dinger went ahead with the release of "neu! '72 live in düsseldorf" in 1996, once again without consulting rother, further infuriating his former partner in neu! the cd was issued by the japanese label captain trip records. a 2000 agreement between rother and dinger to finally reissue the first three albums on cd on astralwerks in the u.s. and grönland records in the u.k. called for "neu! '72 live! in düsseldorf" to be recalled. it has been out of print since then.
