It was very disappointing Let's straighten some things out here: the "Unbelievable" 12" has nothing, I repeat nothing, to do with Yello. It was released without approval from the record company and Yello, and was withdrawn soon after its release. And just as well because the six mixes it contains are all remixed and shot dead by DJ David Morales from Yello's original version, and, therefore, have nothing to do with Yello. Conclusion: the *only* "real" version available is the one on the "Adventures of Ford Fairlane" soundtrack (and even that version has some non-Boris vocal overdubs).

Hello Fello Yello`s, Thanks to all who sent me infomation on the Unbelievable single. I`ve just gone and got Explorer 4, so God knows what`s happening with this message. Anyway, I`ve just finished updating my old cassette collection to CD. Just bought `Flag` and `Zebra` (again). My fave on Flag? Why `Blazing Saddles` of course! My fave on Zebra? Why, it`s none other than the delectable, errmm, I dunno now. I`ll have to think... Today`s fave = Blazing Saddles. Tell me your favourites.

Has anyone else >seen it? I've seen a similar CD not so long ago. I think it came from a East-european country. The one I saw looked like a regular Stella CD, but it also featured the front of Excess in a small frame and under the Yello box (In the upper right corner) the "title" was written in purple: 2LP on 1 CD. There was one song missing though - I think it was one of the last songs on Excess... At the time I was surprized to find out that it had only cost a half of ONE CD. (So I'm sure that it was an illegal release).

Has anyone else >>seen it? As a native Russian, from St.Petersburg, I may say that I've seen tons of these CDs all around here in Russia. They come in several flavors. The first one, that appeared about a year and a half ago, is the one Jonas described. I bought it at the same time it first appeared in St.Petersburg. There are also other variations, like that described by Yuri. >There was one song missing though - I think >it was one of the last songs on Excess... I should say that no songs are missing on the version of this CD I have. Both albums feature just the same songs as the original legal versions. The times of all individual tracks are also preserved. The total playing time is 78:18. >At the time I was surprized to find out that it had only >cost a half of ONE CD. (So I'm sure that it was an >illegal release). Yes, it seems so. As it's usual in Russia, you may find this CD here at about $3. SY, Dmitry - --- Dmitry Shtilerman, REKSoft Ltd.
