As previously reported Yaz (aka Yazoo) will release their backcatalog on vinyl and CD in the fall.
Four Pieces was originally announced as a vinyl set collecting the duo's two studio albums, Upstairs At Eric's and You and Me Both, along with a remix LP Eight Remixes, and a previously unreleased compilation with BBC sessions. Days after the LP announcement Yaz confirmed that due to an outpouring of fan requests they agreed to release the collection on CD format.
Yaz have now announced details for the CD edition of the compendium. Three Pieces comes as a three disc set packaged inside a hardback book and features a 32 page booklet with lyrics and photographs. The tracklisting is identical to the vinyl edition.
Four Pieces (the vinyl edition) arrives October 26th; Three Pieces (the CD edition) arrives November 2nd. View all the pre-order options (including a CD/LP deluxe edition) here.
