Leaving aside the title’s inaccuracy – it’s now 41 years since Yello’s debut album Solid Pleasure – the time is right for a compilation of the duo. Previous singles set Yello By Yello came in 2010, when the pair were at their lowest ebb and failed to revive their fortunes. Subsequent albums Toy and Point have seen Dieter Meier and Boris Blank at their most fired-up since 1997’s Pocket Universe, though, suggesting that Yello want to re-engage with the world –Meier told Classic Pop he was no longer so averse to touring.
