Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America) was an English synthpop duo from Basildon, Essex. Formed in late 1981 by former Depeche Mode songwriter Vince Clarke (synthesizer) and English singer Alison Moyet (vocals), they had a number of top ten hits in the British charts in the early 1980s. Signed to Mute Records Ltd., who licensed them to Sire Records Company in the USA, Yazoo quickly gained popularity on both sides of the Atlantic.

Inspired by their record label's name, Yazoo embarked on a successful music career that spanned several years. Their unique blend of synthesizers and powerful vocals set them apart from other artists at the time. With catchy melodies and relatable lyrics, their songs resonated with audiences worldwide.

If you enjoy listening to artists such as The Human League, Blancmange, or Bronski Beat, then you will definitely appreciate Yazoo's music. Their influence can be heard in the works of many synthpop bands that followed them.

Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].

You and Me Both is the second and final studio album by British synthpop duo Yazoo, originally released on Mute Records. Vince Clarke's and Alison Moyet's relationship had become increasingly tense, and in July '83, on the eve of the release of the second album, You and Me Both, they announced they were splitting up. Notwithstanding, the album still entered the charts in poll position, ably maintaining both critically and commercially the high standard achieved by Upstairs at Eric's.
