The legendary electronic duo YELLO are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a comprehensive retrospective.

“YELL40 YEARS” by Dieter Meier and Boris Blank is not a common best of with the typical songs like “The Race”, “Oh Yeah” or the groundbreaking “Bostich”, but more a place for all the pearls of their discography that have always stood for the YELLO sound cosmos, but never really received the spotlight that they deserve. Songs like the everlasting fan favourite “I Love You”, the eccentric “Rubberbandman” or the Mellow YELLO classic “Desire” – the stylistic range of the Zurich originals have always known no limits.

With detailed liner notes and visual impressions of the last four decades, “40 Years” is a must-have for all lovers of the special electronic sounds made in Switzerland.

YELL40 YEARS follows the 2020 frontline release of POINT, with more catalogue vinyl reissues planned for later in 2021 – more information will follow soon.

2LP:
The strictly limited 180g black YELL4O YEARS double vinyl contains 21 tracks and of course quite a few classics and hits like “Oh Yeah”, “Desire”, “I Love You”, “The Rhythm Divine (feat. Shirley Bassey)”, “Vicious Games”, but also new fan favourites like “Waba Duba”, “Spinning My Mind” or “Way Down”.
