Yello ‎– Point

I picked this up in a local media store and just bought it because I like Yello but did not do any research on this (which I usually do when buying vinyls) and got extremly impressed when I listened to it. I have bought many new records of artists that I like but this one is really a quality pressing, actually on of my better ones for sure now. There are absolutely no pops or no hissing (which sadly is not often the case on new vinyls) and the mix is very clean and wide. This one is gonna be a classic for every future audiophile for sure. It is very rare to get such an excellent quality pressing of such an excellent artist when it comes to new records.

I'm happy to report that the audio is full and lossless, confirmed with a spectrograph. Too many Russian and Chinese pirate pressings only contain lousy and lossy audio, but not this release!
Why there is no official 15 track CD to buy anymore is the typical arrogance of Universal.
The limited box which contained the full album, got sold out within a couple of weeks, so, no music for the masses unless you pay top € or invest in an Unofficial CD or download.
It is definitely not up there with any of the first 6 classic and eternal albums, but it has its moments and is a solid effort - and why not get the Real Deal instead of the abridged official album?

Absolutely superb. But you wouldn’t expect anything less from Yello. The Boxed Deluxe set is....Deluxe. Sound quality is Magnificent as usual. As these guys get older their music just gets better. Standout tracks are Way Down and the luscious Fiji Rong vocals on Siren Singing. The Blu-ray of their concert is out of this world. Lavish box. Lavish vocals. Can’t find any problems with my Vinyl copy. Much better than some Vinyl I’ve bought recently. May they continue for years to come.

I was going to say that this album is surprisingly good, but in retrospect, it's not very surprising.
Yello just consistently puts out good music.
One of their best? Not even close. I give that nod to "One Second", but there are songs on here that could easily have been on there.
The quality peters, towards the end of the album, and the one song I'm not crazy about is "Hot Pan".

Un album FORMIDABLE ce YELLO et comme toujours. MAIS CELUI-CI EST QUANT À MOI UNE VRAIE BOMBE. Je m'attendait a quelque chose de Yello mais c'est encore plus. Il commence et tu part avec l'album pour te rendre compte que tu n'a pas décrocher jusqu'à la derniére note. C'est vraiment très bon, inattendu mais sur le même chemin de toujours. Une pure merveille à chaque pièce, une qualité de son incroyable et en 24Bit c'est le top. Ça passe sans qu'on s'en rendent compte et on remets encore. BRAVO et MERCI YELLO pour c'est 38 ans qui correspondent aux années que je vous suit sans jamais être déçu :) MERCI, MERCI et MERCI! YELLO :)

A fine Yello-album.
Sorry to say that there are no melodious, memorable songs with female guest singers on this one.
“Sirene Singing” (with Chinese-British artist Fifi Rong) I would not include to that.

Unbelievable, indeed. What a brilliant sound. One of the best vinyl pressings I've ever heard. To yet, I was giving up finding a vinyl which such a clear "voice". Every time those bad pressings with clicks, pops and this crap. Why are not all those vinyls are that good? And then this analytic sound of Yello ... awesome ... awesome. Perhaps not the very best album of Yello ... perhaps ... but after two times of hearing, sure one of the very best (a matter of taste).
Yes, absolutely recommendable (a matter of taste, did I already say that? ;-))
An item for testing your equipment, but not only for that!

It's a 200g vinyl - as already mentioned before, great sound!!! This record is now also in my TAS list.
