NEW STUFF
by Jonathan Kamm 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

OK, I've cleaned up the site. Mainly the singles section it was getting to full. I divided it into 2 pages now YELLO CD SINGLES and YELLO VINYL SINGLES works much nicer this way. I'm getting lots of contributions and want to thank all that have contributed. A lot of the vinyl I am not that familiar with. So be very descriptive with the names you give them. I'm trying to include the b-side in the title as well. A lot of you have been sending contributions with very descriptive titles and I thank you. The main menu is a little different now and the backgrounds on each page have a little better contrast to them. Please check out the site. If you see an error in any of the discriptions or have a question about a specific item. Click on it's thumbnail image. When the enlarged image appears there is a link at the bottom where can contact me about that item. Is there something you guys would like to see in the description? Possibly the year or product # or something? It makes no difference to me. I just like the Artwork but I know a lot of you collectors need certain info. You can contact me or just post your ideas to the message board. Anyone have alot of Carlos Peron or Billy Mackenzie covers? I could put up a page for them as well. Some New additions YELLO VINYL SINGLES Blazing Saddles / I Love You The Race / Another Race Rhythm Divine (Double Album) Jungle Bill (Green) Vinyl OTHER ALBUMS Outernational (Billy Mackenzie) YELLO CD SINGLES To The Sea Jungle Bill (Green Cover) CD That's all for now, Jonathan ARTWORK SITE: http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/YelloSites/Menu22.html

Yello.ch-Flash-Sharing-Promos HOW?
by Paul Jones 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

Well it was the pop up stopper working its merry way. I have seen the site now-and its really not that bad, but very lacking in content. Its interactivity is great but how many time would you want to revisit. NOT. I agree with all you guys on the design issues vs speed. There has always been issues and will continue to be issues as there are so many variables to consider. Even with the best scripting you can't eliminate size altogether as graphics can only be optimized so much without sacrificing quality. I use broadband as do many of you, and I always design my sites for a dial up connection that way broadband users get what they expect via there broadband link- but the poor old dial up used can stiil get access to the default low speed pages. Especially with Flash and scripting you can achieve incredible results, just look at all you guys that have proved it. Jonathon and Greg particularly come to mind. I know there some more out there. We should all collaborate and blitz these Yello site design losers. I would like to expand on Jonathon's and Greg's ideas by integrating video as well. The mind boggles. Rene-You should be able to spread some light on this-you seem to be a bit of an expert? Hey Julz Mate I'll get you a copy no worries. You're a keen eBay hey mate. Me Too! We both have our eyes on that promo item. Don't worry I'll respect the fact that you want it and you got in first, so I'll wont be pushing the price up on you. You gotta be bloody quick hey. Julz I want to see your site also mate, I have been itching to get mine going for nearly a year. Time seems to be missing. Patrick mate-I actually enjoy shopping for vinyl for others just as much as for me, it's a good excuse to get out more often. Anything anyone wants I'm happy to try and find it. I'm emailing you now anyway. Shaun I'm emailing you also re the 'DEAL' I bought an interesting couple of items not long back. 2 Billy Mackenzie tracks 'BABY'. They are not particularly related to yello but they are awesome tracks. I know there's a lot of Billy fans for his collaboration work with Yello. He's worth it dead old Billy. There was a mention of another FTP server a while back, any news? I am itching to get a shared resource, not necessarily for music, but images etc. There have been a few occasion I have wanted to share items and can't via the newsgroup. Hey Guys-Tell me how you obtain your demos. I was a working DJ for over 15 years and only twice got promos from Yello. I still have heaps of contacts (obviously not that friggen good) and yet I get jack. Jonas-I'm surprised that you don't have more signed and collectable items from Yello-I had the impression you had met them regularly. PaulO

New Yello Web Site
by James Gillett 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

Hi all Just thought I'd add I have to agree with what is (I think) the majority opinion here - I think Yello's new web site is awful. I've almost no experience of web site design myself, but I think I recognise fairly bad design..and this one sucks. Quite dissapointing really, especially after a 4 year wait. These are my main criticisms of the site: 1. The loading screen. Not everyone has broadband and not everyone wants to wait minutes for a front page to be loaded, - oh yes and with a very monotonous (literally) loading sound from 'Tremendous Pain'. 2. The music of 'Oh Yeah' also in the introduction from (when was it 1985?) - I thought we were in 2003.......It was great then, but don't Yello fans want to hear something new on a web site? 3. The images - especially the photos of Dieter and Boris on the introduction - these are also from circa 1985 aren't they? Why not use the updated images from the Press Office i.e. as per the motor music web site. 4. The albums - why are there tracklistings for just the 2 most recent albums? It smacks very much to me of Yello's marketers last ditch attempt to promote Motion Picture (again). 5. Shop - Hmm. Music pop stars - web site, but can't..seem...to..determine where I can *buy* a Yello album on the official site. Oh well.... 5. General accessability - If I want to see a Yello discography, then at the very least it should be on the Yello web site. It's ironic that every other Yello web site has one - except the official one. 6. Yello Bio - I think someone mentioned this before, but the site is seriously lacking background on Yello 'the personalities'. I'm sure there's a few of us who would be interested in the inspiration behind the music or what Dieter thought of Lightmaker, or some background on how Pocket Universe came to be a concept - ...but ur... no....perhaps this will be covered in the upcoming book.. 7. The Eye (design) - if the web design is anything to go by, and Johnathon's scan of the 'The Eye' promo on his site - I really hope that that is not the actual album desigh cover - it's awful. It looks as though it's been done in Microsoft paint or something.. 8. Credits screen - I like the way the same screen fades in and out every few seconds... So..to sum up I think Yello's marketing team have got it spectacularly wrong again. I think Greg's site..albeit just created, is far superior. It's a shame because the quality of Yello's marketing and promotion simply doesn't match up to the quality of the Yello sound, and I wonder if Boris and Dieter are aware or even care about the design of the site.. and the new album cover.. Ah well..... _________________________________________________________________ On the move? Get Hotmail on your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile

To some obvious info, to some ...
by Rene 06 Sep '03

Hi. Too some it might be ovious to apply this trick, but for others it might be helpfull. The follwoing is for offline - enjoyment - (;-) of the yello site: Clean your internet temp files and go to the yello site. Then take your time in checking the whole site and click on every button you see. Let things load until their done. On my config. this turned out to be the easiest way to get the site offline, for storage and other use... ahum. In your internet temp directory the yello site will appear and can be moved/copied to another folder/directory. Form that folder/directry the site is functional. After checking the flash source I discovered that every flash object is linked to the root of the yello-site. So no problems with getting everyting in their respective folder. - Room Basa Boom Boe Rang Boe Rang Dong... As easy as that.
