Yaz - Only You (Remastered)

[jamesbondaygee]

Very sweet and tender love song!

[peterpeterxxo]

im sure they did this on cheggars plays pop in 1982..???.

[plustwik]

Sad, sweet and brilliant.

[dsav43]

Really like this song for some reason!!!!

[MMTWorks4me]

love this song so much--so many memories

[vertrees2]

This entire ALBUM contains TONS of GREAT memories for me... thank you so much for posting! Its funny... my 16 year old niece who HATES eighties LOVES this album.... and so do I!

[closer2thewall]

all i ever think of is the end of the british office christmas special...

[mendoannie]

I believe Rock America had a video in the 80's for this...

[shk123]

Yaz vs Yazoo vs Yes

[eddiemami]

How did I know there would be arguments about Yaz vs. Yazoo when I arrived here? lol.

[ChesterLoadstone]

Ok. I'm going to open up another argument string here, I'm sure. ;) At 1:23, Vince goes into a solo without shifting octives or utilizing any additional actuators. This song was released in 1982. MIDI did not hit NAMM until 1983 (let alone mass production). Did one of my idols commit video-fraud?

[nocturn07]

@ChesterLoadstone: All sorts of Synth Sins committed here. The Roland SH series in the video was neither polyphonic, nor could the keyboard be split into to separate voices. And...where was the Linndrum?? Off-stage perhaps? lolz.... The video would have been "slightly" more believable if an Oberheim OB-Xa were used instead. Also, I think the actual recording used a Sequential Pro-One, not a Roland, but who knows...?

[weARallDEVO]

@nocturn07 I had this exact same Roland back then, and I got both polyphonic and split by running it through my Commodore 64 computer. It took some minor technical wizardry, but it was certainly possible.

[MrSupertraveler]

Great Video

[Terrianne1969]

I hope those 2 people who disliked this find their ears again.

[malialou]

I remember nursing a badly broken heart with this song back in the 80's....lol.

[MrSupertraveler]

@malialou LOL...too many broken hearts and this song would always come up.

[AZNMJ08]

Amazing group. Upstairs at Eric's is their best album! Every song on that album is razor. This song is hauntingly beautiful and I fell in love with an old high school friend because of it 10 years after school. Moyet's voice is extravagantly unique! Thank you for remastering and making this sound new.

[raym04111969]

My all time favorite song!

[SxyTgGoddess1]

Did anyone know othr than i, that Allison Moyet was Transgendered...her beautiful voice and songs say it all about her and her singles besides Yaz as well as with

[joshgues]

It's such a nice song to end the British version of The Office. Such a sweet scene between British Pam and British Jim

[cenotaphofmist]

amazing vocals...

[SuperShazbott]

@MemoriesofStarckClub

aha! Thanks MSC we had another band over here called Yazz i presume you guys already had one called Yazoo :)

[SuperShazbott]

isn't this Yazoo , Yaz are a totally different animal altogether

[MemoriesofStarckClub]

@SuperShazbott

They are one in the same. Yazoo were signed to Mute Records in the United Kingdom and (as "Yaz") to Sire Records in the United States.

Not to be confused with British pop singer Yazz (born Yasmin Evans) from Yazz & The Plastic Population best known for her successful 1988 dance track, "The Only Way Is Up".

[sarayasilvers]

@SuperShazbott

Nope Yaz aka Yazoo.. same animal...

[bconnr]

Love this song and Yaz(oo) . My sister brought it back from germany when I was a kid always loved this group, later as a DJ I could hear samples of it everywhere!!

[ImFineYurSick]

Hell yeah.

[Dariush1967]

Yazoo best group

[pvtawol]

man.... why is it that EVERYTIME I hear the chorus of this, it gives me chills. I can't think of ANY modern songs that do that.

[onlooker510]

Alison,

One of the most melodious voices I have ever had the luck to hear

God Bless Ms. Vocals!!!!!!!!!!!!

[melissa21906]

i loveee this song, its so romantic :D

[RockerCheetah22]

Another love song that makes me cry...

[lastastronaut]

so if there wasnt a video made for this song, why have i always seen the video everywhere featuring the manequins featured on the upstairs at erics album,only they are moderately anmated..wasnt that it?

[MemoriesofStarckClub]

@lastastronaut

Nope. I don't know who did the animation for that video but I have seen it used for 3 different Yaz song on YT, the best being Situations.

My video is the ONLY video made and released by Yaz or Mute Records for Only You.

[budutahman]

@MemoriesofStarckClub funny how they call them Yazoo in the video

[translite2]

One of my all time favorite tracks, can listen to it on repeat all day. Clarke is a badass Moyet what a voice. Yazoo has to be one of the greatest groups ever

[MrRockets84]

Tune!!!!!! Ah man this just reminds me of the last episode of the office wen Dawn turns up and throws the lips on Tim...classic TV

[JonMcElectro]

Vince ain't just a Synth Player. He's a Guitarist, Vocalist, and Pianist. Multi Instrumentalist really.

[lMaximumlHeat]

Simply genius.

[4330moss]

Im glad to have been a part of the 80's music...Now Im glad to have the money to crank the volume and blow out the windows and let the world listen!!!

[jonahlogistics]

unrequited love sucks. 

[idstyled]

i heart YAZ, getting misty here!

[ahawker100]

Great.......



[ahawker100]

Great song, great voice, great singer.. 

[haltomguy]

OH Starck Club... how I miss thee... Those were the days! This song defined my life, going home with Parrish Spradling and being a young gay! Damn those were the good times!!!!!

[82558061]

Great Track

what does it all mean

Only you

[DianaDiazSinger]

Vince Clark left Depeche Mode to do Yaz(oo). Turned out to be a great thing for Depeche Mode.

[MemoriesofStarckClub]

@DianaDiazSinger

and Moyet and Andy Bell as well.

[EyeSquaredAre]

@DianaDiazSinger Vince Clarke owns the 80's!

[MemoriesofStarckClub]

@EyeSquaredAre

Depeche Mode, Yazoo, The Assembly, Erasure - plus producing remixes almost too numerous to count. I say you are absolutely correct Eyes.

[Francesca419]

@EyeSquaredAre I totally agree...Yaz, depeche, erasure...can anyone else claim such significant, magnificent bands on Their resume??? think not!!!!!!! Such a talent & a maverick!!!!!

[martinjsxx]

Another great selection. One of the best early New Wave songs.

[healthhaterxx]

I love this song. vince clark is a beautiful person and i never say that.

[ztwinkz]

I heard this song in the background of the office (Christmas Party) very lovely, thank you for posting this

[hulkster46a]

The remastered version sounds fantastic. one of my favorite songs. lol

[nineteenEcho]

Back in the 80's, my first room mate in the US Air Force was from Sacramento CA, and he introduced me to Depeche Mode, Midnight Oil, OMD, and others....Thanks CHAD!!!!!!!!!

[n13arkotik]

Огромное спасибо!Я думал не найду,все заблокировали.Враги!))

[mercenaryinponcho]

this remaster sounds way better

[RollerRoy]

it's a woman?? dang... i though it was a man too!!  grin.. I love this song

[Rosvolainen]

What? Didn't you know that the keyboard player was a woman? I find that quite obivious. :)

[MemoriesofStarckClub]

OK, I feel the need to clear up the confusion here. The band was called Yazoo in England, but was know as Yaz in the US. The keyboard player is a man - Vince Clarke, formerly of Depeche Mode (see Just Cant Get Enough) and English singer Alison Moyet. After they broke up Clarke went on to form Erasure and Moyet had relative success as a soloist.

Enjoy.

[jayatfreelance]

. . . plus Ms. Moyet's family is distantly related to the distillers!

[SodaGirl]

This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid... I'm about to turn 26 and I am just now learning the singer is not a man. I've been so long for so long!

[glorialeeyoung]

Allison you have such a gifted voice!

[bandanaguynnorman]

if bonnie and you know who you are this is one of the oklahoma wiggers from the starck days and miss you and howard although he is gone but i loved those days

[Danilus1860]

A classic 80's Song :-)

[dundeedfc]

Amazing. Brilliant 80's.

[firstconcorde]

This song singularly sums up the 80s for me, Thanks for posting.

[melsinki8]

yaaaaay a good audio quality version! haha classic song :)

[princetalleyrand]

I am SOOOOO happy you're posting these Starck memories! Especially Pookah and...and...well, everything! Only You still makes me cry because it was usually the last song Rick played...when it was time for after parties or to go home or to wait until the doors opened again. Thank you for all these wonderful memories!

[Rajama70]

Love this song-Thank You!

[saurus3197]

This is one of my favorite songs. Funny thing is I grew up in the 80's but never knew about the song until the spring of 2006.
