Thanks for that info Jonas! You can never beat the real thing on CD and I try getting the "official" release but sometimes its difficult. Been a yello fan for ages (my first release was the gate fold release of Lost Again on seven inch vinyl) so I am bit of a fanatic. BTW Lavamus has a really good Vince Clarke CD compiled from the stuff he did post Mode Pre erasure...that's where these sites are useful! So are Yello playing London or not?

They were joking. There are numerous sites like these, often based in Russia. Many say they are illegal, but legality is relative. There are special laws in Russia that allow them to sell, but possibly only to customers residing in Russia. International law is a bit vague, otherwise they would have been closed down long ago. But lawyers of course try their best. I personally find them useful when trying to find "impossible-to-find" music (deleted CDs, vinyl-only stuff, promo-only etc) but of course I do not recommend them instead of paying for a proper CD or legal MP3s. Another aspect is that most people in Russia can not afford to pay a full day's salary for an album (= Westersn price"), that's why Yello also made Eccentirx available there officially, to fight the bootleggers. /JW
