(Re: [Yello] to the sea Neat 'O'! thanks Shaun. I needed a Yello Vid fix, and thanks to you, I got it. I'm sorry to hear that things are not easy to fine in OZ either.) read on... then add your name and city and country to illustrate the point and request being made here!
This further emphasizes my suggestion that Our peer-less heroes, Boris and Dieter, should consider a direct release option for their material. Those of us, and we all know who we are, spread out around the world have such a hard time obtaining the fruits of their labors! I often wonder how they are able to keep their finances up, (other than Dieter's forays into the agricultural and vintning business), as I haven't been able to purchase any NEW material for a few years now. Sure, I can but used things from e-bay and the like, but who gets the royalties? I remember when the 12"ers of Tied Up were released, there must have been at least 5-10 different B sides, which must have helped fill the coffers handsomely.
Then, there's the occasional tidbit that is offered by other fans, but they are few and far between, and still not the same as having something with a cover or case that you can hold in your hand, or proudly display in your music room for all your friends to drool over(figure of speech- I'd shoot anyone that ruined my precious YELLO items!! especially my vinyl).
If I may voice it this way, We are all very avid and loyal admirers, but there aren't enough of us in any localized place to warrant our local purvaiers of aural and ocular pleasure and keep them in business too. I see their point, they have families and bills to pay too, and one or two sales in a whole city do not make good marketing sense.
YELLO, PLEASE, Kanst wir habst ein online YELLO gescheft, BITTE? (Can we have an online yello store, please?)
