WOW! And everyone I know thinks I'm a freak! [that's a compliment, btw]
I'll take the bait. Well over 1400 items I call mine. But I don't think quantity is what matters. Who just said that? ;-)
I have some unique items in my collection in terms of rarity. I like items that have a story to tell or items that tell me/us more about the people behind Yello. And looking at items over time that tells a story of the music industry as well. How new formats came and went. Looking at magazines from the 80's is always a pleasure :-)
It's interesting to see that there are 7" singles release in countries
as unlikely as the phillipines
http://www.theyellosite.com/index.php/discography/release/625/ or
zimbabwe. Press releases like
http://www.theyellosite.com/index.php/discography/release/583/ are
nice to look at and every now and then you find a magazine with a surprising foto in it like
http://www.theyellosite.com/index.php/discography/release/542/ I just
love that picture of Dieter sitting in the chair.
Rare items are things like test pressings, ore artist proofs of cd or vinyl covers. I didn't know for instance that such a thing as test pressings for cd's existed. But here is one for One Seond
http://www.theyellosite.com/index.php/discography/release/635/ and the
pic:

But I think the rarest thing ever is Jonas Warstad's
Yello book. No
printed copy exists :-)

So who is actually the biggest Yello collector in the world? How many items do you have out there, and what are your ultimate rare items in your collection?
(I finnished collecting Yello years ago, so don't count me in)
