I got mine for $30 from CD Connection (http://www.cdconnection.com).
They have a better selection than most Internet stores.

Subject: (yello) Eccentrix and rockabilly mix

Hi!

I bought two copies of Eccentrix and now other one is for sale. Record
is new and price will be $22 + postage ($2 to Europe and $4 to outside
of Europe).
I can also trade it to some other Yello stuff, so offer something...


BTW I am old rockabilly fan and I think so that original "More" is much
more rocabilly style than "rockabilly mix". Actually seems that in
original version was used upright bass (slap bass) which make it lot
more rocabilly style than these mix.
When I was first time hear rumours about rocabilly mix I taught that
there will be more slappin' with upright bass. I taught so because in
several videos Boris playing slap bass or joking to play it (look at
"Rhythm Divine" and "Live At The Roxy"). Anyway, I believe that he also
love play (or listen sound of) slap bass, am I right, anyone konow??

"Rockabilly Mix" is really good track but it's not any rockabilly style.


Regards,

Subject: (yello) My view on Eccentrix

I finally got tired of waiting for the new Yello album to reach
Sweden so I found a Norwegian CD-Shop and I had it within two
weeks. The shop also had the "On Track" single which I tried to
get two years ago in Sweden, so I guess that I will order from
Norway in the future. If you live within Scandinavia the shipping=20
cost isn't much worse than inside your own country.

I must say that I am a bit dissapointed by the new album. I think
that they have chosen too many non-Yello remixes, and the bad ones
too.

The Race (Brake Light Mix) - Many nice stereo effects. A little bit to
        long and some electrical sound in the background that I don't like.
        Still, it's one of the songs I listen to. ****

How How (Papa-Who-Ma-Mix) - I have the single and has only listened to it=
 once.
        Not one of my favourites. *

More (Rockabilly Mix) - Maybe a little bit long, but my absolute
        favourite on this album. I love the electrical rhythm and the base.
*****

Do It (Marky P. & Teri B. Dub) - Have the single and never play it. *

Topaz (Insect Mix) - Boris' version of "Mission Impossible" and I think it's
rather
        good. But I must say that the ones who did the title song for the
movie did
        a better job with it. ****

How How (In Silence Mix) - Don't have the single but if I had I don't think=
 I
        would be listening to this song very often. *

On Track (Doug Laurent's First Journey) - I have wanted to hear this song=
 since
        the talk started about it 2 years ago and now I finally got the
opportunity
        (especially since I bought the "On Track" single too). A very nice
remix. ****

Vicious Games (Boris Blank & Olaf Wollschl=E4ger Mix) - Got the single and I
listen to
        it sometimes but nothing speial. ***

Rubberbandman (Rubber Mix) - I've always liked Rubberbandman and this mix=
 isn't
        a bad one. ***

She's Got A Gun (Live At The Palladium N.Y.) - Got the single, but it was
nice to
        get it on CD. My favourite Yello track, altough I prefer it with
lyrics. ***

To The Sea (TSWL Mix) - Very boring - havn't even listened through it once.=
 -


I thought it was nice that Yello released a remix album but would have=
 prefered
older remixes and their own remixes. This was some kind of new "Hands on
Yello" album
and a Yello single in one package.

For some reason I was unsubscribed from Yello mailing list, but now I'm=
 back.

By the way, the norwegian CD-shop has the following URL:=20

I have to agree with Andreas on this new remix album. Most of the mixes
are,
well, rather pedestrian. It's definately not what I've come to expect from
these
guys. That said, I still like the overall feel of the album, very laid back
and
trancey. It's good to have going on in the background, but unlike the
'Hands
On' collection, it's not as interesting to actually listen to.

"To The Sea (TSWL Mix) - Very boring - havn't even listened through it
once."

Bang on! Let me see your opinion on 'To The Sea' and raise you a 'what
were they thinking?'

Actualy, i totaly disagree with both of you on most of your points on the new
album, especialy about to the sea. I have never really liked the original
version much, however have really enjoyed the remixed version.

Sheldon
