Many thanks for the exceptional addition! Yello is one the best groups of the 80s, leading the way to a different style of the 80s electronic synth music.
Do you have maybe Outbar – Way From The Heat (Extended Harlem Mix)?

Hello DJ Paul. Yello is always a special treat. Do you happen to have “Live At The Roxy, N.Y. Dec. ’83”?
That would be a wish of mine.

What can I say? With Yello you can NEVER NEVER EVER go wrong. I have a dozen Yello 12-Inches but / and it is so great to have them in DJ Paul quality. Goldrush II in my ears sounds better than on the expanded cd edition. Wishlist for my birthday on Tuesday (23rd) 😉 : # Lost Again, my all-time favourite Yello single. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that song. Don´t ask me why. It´s not super original, it was not something one had never heard before. I can´t explain. It just touches me. # Of Course I´m Lying # Desire… Read more »

Yello were quite ahead of their time. I noticed this features the much-missed Billy Mackenzie too.

Looking forward to hearing this single.

Thanks Paul 🙂

On the road right now and just saw the post and I am elated. Next to Depeche Mode, Yello is my favorite band. It’s always a great thing when you add Yello to your blog. This is a fantastic twelve and I haven’t heard the B-Side in ages. Thanks so much Paul for this. More Yello would always be welcomed.

Have a tremendous weekend Paul.
