Well as for copying the CD and posting the MP3's I would prefer to wait for the commercial copy and purchase it. There was some discussion of this topic when the FTP server was running. The idea was to post musical items to it that were no longer commercially available. Although the new album comes under this concept, it is because it's not commercially available *yet*. In other words, it will be available and we should wait till it is and purchase it. Preferably, directly from Yello. - RF -----Original Message----- From: Marko Pätsikkä [mailto:mapatsik@iki.fi] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 11:50 AM To: The moon: beautiful.

Oh, I am so curious, not to say jealous... Any idea how to share this treasure? Hi Franz, (and other mailing list friends) Well, not to be jealous, maybe U find one own copy too. ;-) I can share this cd, but unfortunately it will take few days. I will left to summerhouse today and I will spend there 1-3 weeks. Have to make new roof etc. to my garage there. After I come back to home here in Lieto I will make mp3's and scan disk too and put all information in my Yello discography. This promo cd is without sleeve. I really hope that this is OK? -Makke- www.makkesgarage.com _______________________________________________ Yello mailing list Yello(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello

Promo CD / loops

Is the promo CD the actual disk or is it a compilation of those looped tracks that are circulating out there? BTW - From what I've heard of those loops, it sounds like the actual tracks will be great. -Mike > > >---- Original Message ---- >From: franz.gall(a)gmx.de >To: Yello(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [Yello] Great! >Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 17:37:10 +0200 > >>Hi Makke, >>this is really great.

Hello guys after few years, I finally get one promo copy about "The Eye". Have to say that I'm totally impressed; absolute great stuff. Just think that the best Yello album ever! Now I'm played it random about 20 hours and it sounds much better all the time! Just wondering who is that woman with great voice who sing few tracks? Unfortunately my promo cd not include any information. -Makke- www.makkesgarage.com

Patrick, I do everything in Photoshop 7.0 in fact I can't think of anything you cant do in Photoshop. If your going to take the time to learn a program definitely learn Photoshop. I'd suggest joining NAPP National Association of Photoshop Professionals http://www.photoshopuser.com/ They helped me a lot. Plus when you join you are automatically subscribed to Photoshopuser magazine. It's full of great tutorials and tips. PIECING TOGETHER AN ALBUM COVER: It may seem like quite an undertaking but if you've worked with layers before it's quite simple. Place each piece on it's own layer and reduce the opacity of the top 3 layers. Now you can look through the top layers and line them up with the bottom layer using Free Transform. Then feather the edges so you don't get any lines where they overlap. Then flatten the image, crop it, remove any dust or scratches and color correct and your done. OK maybe it's not that simple. But believe me once you learn Photoshop you will be glad you did. Good Luck ,Jonathan PATRICK'S POST: Thanks guys for all the info about scanning and digital camera's. Slightly off the subject but useful nevertheless (and all in a good cause). Jonathan, I shall scan the covers as you requested and post them to you. BUT, can you let me know what application you use to stitch them together? Some kind soul mentioned they used to use PaintShop Pro v3 (now that's old!), is it any easier in the newer version(s)? The reason I ask is that I have some 1000 LP's that I would like to scan the covers of some of them and if it was relatively easy, then I would be prepared to invest the time to learn to do it. I have relatively new versions of PSP and Photoshop and one or two others. By the way, any news on the FTP site or has that sunk never to surface again? I have some 12" rips I would like to contribute. Covers to be scanned over the weekend. Peace to all. Patrick (a.k.a jabberwoc)

Artwork Contributions

Hey, There has been a lot of talk about how to get pictures of your albums for the site. Scanning is preferred. I understand that the 12" albums don't fit on conventional scanners. But you can scan them in 4 separate scans and I will put them together. A lot of the albums on the site were done in this fashion. Mark them "A"(upper left), "B"(upper right), "C"(lower left), "D"(lower right). Remember 7" vinyls will fit great on any scanner. CDs too. Jpegs or Tiffs are fine 300dpi works great. Digital Cameras are OK but you are going to have to do a very good job to even come close to the quality of scanning. With all this said I have yet to receive any contributions from anyone. Come on guys between all of us we must have everything YELLO has ever done. Everything on the site is from my collection and a friend of mine in Europe. If you have AIM or iChat you can instant message me and send them through instant messenger. My screen name is- jonathankamm(a)mac.com Hope to hear from you guys, Jonathan ARTWORK SITE: http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/YelloSites/Menu22.html
