Oldest track?

Does anyone know what the oldest Yello track (including pre-Dieter Meier stuff) to ever get beyond the studio is?

I think I. T. Splash would be the oldest. Dieter had 7" released before he hooked up with Boris and Carlos.

Really? I thought Boris & Carlos Peron had been working together for a while before that.

I think it is I.T. Splash as well back in 1979.

Shooting the Dark (a collaboration with Carlos Perón from 1978. Released (without Boris' knowledge) by Carlos Peron in 2001 on his double-CD 'BEST OF ... VOL. II - PORCELLUM TRAIANUM')

Also on the flipside of I.T. Splash was Gluehead but an early version of Gluehead was released called "Bluehead" but it was released in 1982 on a UK 7".

She's Got a Gun 3.42/Bluehead 2.26 [early mix of 'Glue Head'] (Do It Records, DUN 18)

i've recently found a 160kbps mp3-file of 'Bluehead', it's actually a raw mix of 'I.T. Splash'.
I don't know anything about the origin of this file, but the quality of sound reminds an old 7'' single

Gold to Iron is supposed to be good but I'm not to familiar with his work.

I have only 2 albums of Peron: Impersonator I, 1981 (co-produced by Boris) & Die Schwarze Spinne O.S.T, 1984. Their style reminds the years of 'Solid Pleasure', but much more experimental & dark. 'Main Title' & 'Knight's Theme' from 'Die Schwarze Spinne' are simply amazing!

Impersonator II has the song "Happy New Year" containing vocals by Dieter.
Impersonator 3 has the song "Kung Fu Pogo" which also contains Dieter vocals.
Talks To The Nations has "Yellowed Vs. Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess"

Carlos's "Motor Man" is very similar to "The Race" There are several remixes of it on "Gold For Iron"

Well, I'm giving a few tracks from different albums a go. Some of the previews do sound like an edgier, more electronic Solid Pleasure. Now I've just got to figure out the Paypal on the site...
