Yello released two albums on Ralph, where they were hyped as Ralph's
next big thing, before Renaldo & the Loaf was touted as the next next big
thing.

Solid Pleasure - first album (1980) - Very weird rap/electro/synthpop/funk...
oh, hell, they're uncategorizable.  Definitely a major influence on the
Flashdance soundtrack album or something like that. "Bimbo" was later released
on Stiff and scored big on post-disco stations, also "Bananas to the Beat".

Claro Que Si - (1981?) - more of the same, only more so.

Don't Say Yes to Another Excess (Elektra - ?) contains "I Love You (I Know)"
(based on Star Wars trilogy????).


I realize I haven't been much help to those who don't know Yello.  Suffice
to say that they are very eclectic, unusual, and electronic.  Their Ralph
albums are no longer in print, so grab them if you find them.
