Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. ________________________________ From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Woodland Spirit Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:34 AM To: The moon: beautiful.

Subject: Re: [Yello] Yello Ringtone People look at you kind of funny because they think you are some kind of sad freak for having the worst ringtone in the history of mankind. Trust me on that. Sean On the subject of Ringtones, there's a pretty good one that I've used in the past. Plug this (see below) into Google and it should turn up one or two examples. It's some maniac imitating the sound of a 2-stroke moped engine with his voice. Strangely enough, it works wonderfully as a ringtone. However, people look at you kind of funny....

Two worlds on remaster set?
by Nic 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Well, happy as I am that many tracks are now being made available on CD, and properly mastered, I do have to ask why isn't "Two Worlds" included? (You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess) I spend quite a lot of time "remastering" from analogue sources, tape or vinyl, flexi discs, etc., sounds just not available for CD, or extremely rare, and I've been disappointed when occasionally I have managed to get an original CD release, and how poor or unremarkable it is, in comparision to my own mastering. FWIW, I have performed A-B tests with my current set of CDs and the Yello vinyl. Just the first two albums have some noticable tonal difference, and it varies from track to track, so I suspect that the vinyl mastering (I have German / Eurpean pressings) wasn't up to much either. (It could of course be that the master stamper was getting a bit worn out). Well in summary I hope there's a set of follow up CD's eg. the "Messages" series of 12" Regards All, nic.

Remaster realease
by Jonas 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Got this info from Jonas W Hi, the release date for the remaster series has been changing a bit recently, because it is being coordinated with the premiere of the Yello TV documentary, and at the moment the release schedule looks like this: Switzerland 26 September Germany 31 October other (continental) European countries mid-October An official notification from Universal is expected soon. There are no plans to release them outside of continental Europe, so fans will have to buy imports or order them from online European CD shops. I hope this is of any help to you. If not, you can email me. Best regards/Jonas W

Hello. A couple of questions: How many copies are printed? Somebody wrote about limited print, I remember. Does all six come in one box? I would wish. Most conveniently I would wait the CDs to arrive at local shop. But with Amazon, it would be quaranteed that nobody have listened to (scratched) the CDs before I get them. Most likely.
