Song of the Day – Yello – The Messages Volume Zero – Pinball Cha Cha / Homer Hossa

Yello released a cool set of 3 twelve inch singles in Germany in the early 80s. The Messages Volumes Zero, One, and Two. Any excuse to use more awesome Ernst Gamper artwork is fine by me.

Produced by Yello and Ursli Weber
Cover Design by Ernst Gamper

Yello is Boris Blank and Dieter Meier (and technically Carlos Peron at this point although he is not credited anywhere on this single)
Pinball Cha Cha is a different version than what appeared on the albums Claro Que Si and 1980-1985 New Mix In One Go.
