Title:
Solid Pleasure
Label:
HIT THING (GERMANY)
Format:
LP/12"
Price:
$23.50
Catalog #:
HIT 011LP
Hit Thing re-releases the first two albums on vinyl by the Swiss band Yello (
Dieter Meier
and
Boris Blank
) circa 1980 and 1981:
Solid Pleasure
and
Claro Que Si
. At last these two classic albums of early electronic atmospheric pop madness can return to the turntables of another generation. Crazy disco sound-choppers and original sample-stealers, Yello were, to quote Meier:
"bombastic Mahleresque sound painters!"
Originally released by Ralph Records in 1980,
Solid Pleasure
was the debut LP that introduced the world to Yello, and featured the legendary singles "Bimbo" and "Bostich."
Claro Que Si
was the group's second LP and their last for Ralph Records. It contained their first huge hit "Pinball Cha Cha," which opened the door to their well-known career. Both LPs are packaged as deluxe gatefolds with expanded original-era artwork. Each release contains extensive historical liner notes that reveal a fascinating portrait about the Swiss band and their mysterious connection with Ralph Records. Both sought-after albums vanished into vinyl collector-land in the U.S. after they were sold to Phonogram in Europe, and both have been re-mastered for 150-gram vinyl and cut at Dub Plates in Berlin. Each LP is a limited edition of 1,000 copies, with a bonus 12" 45 rpm single.

"
Claro Que Si
was the group's second LP and their last for Ralph Records. It contained their first huge hit 'Pinball Cha Cha', which opened the door to their well-known career. The artwork for
Claro Que Si
has been significantly praised worldwide. Original designer Jim Cherry went on to win numerous awards and acclaim for this masterpiece of album art. 24 years later Hit Thing consulted with Cherry for the redesign of this
Claro Que Si
edition. Cherry provided alternate graphic art from the era, as well as a remarkable background story of his design process, as told in the liner notes. Both albums have been re-mastered for 150-gram vinyl and cut at Dub Plates in Berlin. There's a limited edition of 1.000 copies for each title that includes a bonus 12" 45 rpm single. At last these two classic albums of early electronic atmospheric pop madness can return to the turntables of another generation. The first 1,000 copies of both titles will contain a limited 12" single:
Solid Pleasure
: 'Bostich'/
Claro Que Si
: 'Pinball Cha Cha' . Once they are sold out, we'll continue with a regular edition."

VERT 83090
2005 Yello Remaster Series, including 5 bonus tracks. The debut album from Swiss-originating electronic duo of Dieter Meier (ex-Fresh Colour) and Boris Blank. Originally issued by Ralph Records in 1980, this groundbreaking album featuring the huge hit "Bostich" (as recently compiled on
Disco (Not Disco) 2
& elsewhere). "The most varied and accomplished of any synth-pop debut, Yello's first album presents a few irresistible pop songs, Boris Blank's synthesizer interpretations of several different forms of music, and even a three-song suite of atmospheric industrial music that functions as a miniature invisible soundtrack. The dark lyrical concerns and Futurist electronics immediately lifted Yello above the rut of Kraftwerk imitators." Bonus tracks include: "Thrill Wave," "I.T. Splash," "Gluehead," "Smirak's Train" and "Bostich (N'est-ce pas)."
