I'm in
Canada - West Coast - Vancouver. I first heard Yello in 1983. A
friend
owned
You've Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess. I inhaled that album and
went
on exhaling it for years. And then I heard Bananas to the
Beat.
Not a
day has gone by in the last 15 years that I haven't thought of the
knuckle
beat
that starts off that song. I'm also prone to eccentricity, for
example:
I've
been wondering how much of a role Chocolate has played in Dieter's
and
Boris's creativity over the years....
Hmmm.
I've
collected everything I've been able to find of Yello, mostly on 12" vinyl,
stopping
about
7 years ago when Zebra came out. Nothing I've got, though, seems to
be
extraordinary enough to post on the server
:-(
Nobody
I ever ask knows who Yello is until I mention Oh Yeah, The Secret of
My
Success, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Then they say...
wait for it... "Oh, Yeah... I know
them".
And only one other friend of mine is a Yello fan. So it's nice to be on a
list
where
everyone knows the same thing and doesn't mind talking about the finer
points.

Hi group.....just a quick mail to ask where we are
all from and how we became interested in the godfathers......I am from north
east england 30 yrs old and became interested in yello back in 1988 (unknown to
me before then) when I heard The Race on the radio...ever since I have collected
everything that I could lay my hands on including a duplicate of "you know who"
on 7".....mail me privately if anyone is interested in buying....don't want to
put it onto ebay as I know here that we are all fans...never know with
ebay...
Thanks..Graeme
