Subject: Re: (yello) Unbelievable

I have a 12" version of "Unbelievable," and I can tell you it is nothing
like "Haunted House."  It is from the film "Adventures of Ford Fairlane"
which was an critical, and public bomb of a film starring Andrew "Dice"
Clay.  I've never seen the movie, and I've only listened to the song a few
times.  It was very disappointing

Not entirely true. It's an instrumental reminiscent of
the second part of Wall Street Bongo (B-side of Tied up)
and stands very well on its own. The version that surfaced
on the soundtrack was overdubbed (not by Yello) with
spoken samples from "Mr. Perfect" himself. In fact, when
Boris scored the music, there was still no dialogue and so
he didn't know what they were saying.   JW

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Yello, and was withdrawn soon after its release.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).   JW

Subject: (yello) For Years Now I`m Driven...

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.
    Tell me that two old men make you cry at:-

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).

Yours,
Yuri Chercasski.

Sometimes I realise there are so many tracks by Yello I have never ever
heard.   :o(
I hope some day I'll be able to say I heard 'm all.   :o)

Hi!

>>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

Yes, it seems so. As it's usual in Russia, you may find this CD here at about $3.

SY, Dmitry
