Jon, A retail copy of Touch at a "standard" price would be good! There are 100's of retailers but they are also making a buck for themselves with inflated prices for what I see as a normal album release and its not really fair one retailer cashing in on the fact a record company is being ignorant of a market. It is not even on Amazon download in the UK, surely that requires zero marketing only cross company rights agreements? On Amazon it was listed at GBP 69, and the usual cost of a chart or release album today on CD is from GBP 9 to 11. The UK (I think) is a pretty big player in the global music scene, I was lucky enough to get to see Faithless close up and personal at the warehouse in Manchester over the weekend, but I think we export a lot of our talent and make it available worldwide but if others think that's not the case I'll stand corrected. Music is one of the things we should have no borders to. I just see a shift in Yello, all the previous albums have been available in the UK, ok maybe 2-3 or 4 weeks after release in one country but so far there is no sign of this one. We see and get a lot of imported material, releases in languages other than english I am still just baffled why the UK market has not been sold to (yet). Perhaps the UK is perceived as a very small market and sales not worth the marketing effort but I find hat very strange, UK music is incredibly diverse, and Yello is a good fit and in my (humble) opinion could significantly impact the music scene among current music audiences, other new acts have no real difficulty getting exposure and gaining popularity, and most are nowhere near the class of Yello. If Yello's objective is to be more elitist and exclusive, then they are achieving that, and far from fuelling my desire, it saddens me. And I would be interested in a link to the items, thank you for the offer. I will pay for rare and collected items, but what I think or perceive as a "standard" release I should be able to obtain at a normal price. Are there any examples of UK talent / music that you have the same difficulties with where you live? Regards, Nic. We are the architects, not the victims of our own destiny 2009/11/19 Jon Kamm <kammagic@comcast.net>:

Jon G and Nic,

You do realize there are hundreds of retailers online that will sell you current Yello releases as well as practically everything they have ever released. eBay is a gold mine for Yello. If you have an internet connection everything Yello is available to you. I work closely with the biggest Yello collector in the world and he lives in the UK. You would not believe the obscure Yello items he has been able to get his hands on.

Is there something you are trying to find. I can find it for you and send you a link.

, Jonathan
