I've got all of them and they are all excellent. I believe they are
all produced by Chris the French Kiss too.

If you're into down and mid-tempo grooves, check out YP003M which
might be really hard to find now, YP 004M (although the EJM rap is weak,
the instrumental version is great, and there are a copuple of other nice
tracks including Sadness which someone mentioned before), and YP008A (if
you gonna buy one, buy this one!).

The Mighty Bop meets La funk Mob & Cam is allright, but the best
La Funk Mob remix is also on Yp008A I believe, and the Cam stuff
is pretty slow and abstract (you know, good but cam-esque).

La Yellow 357 is excellent, made to sound like a movie soundtrack
and with a couple of annoying samples (you know, annoying like the Depth
Charge kung-Fu samples can be), but those are fortunately not
on the best tracks (and there are a shitload of 'best' track on this!)

The stuff with Louise Vertigo sounds cheesy to me, but I grew up in
France and my be biased by my years of hatred of french female
vocals (is Patricia Kaas still alive? one of the best part of escaping
to the U.S was to not have to listen to that crap anymore), however the
non-vocal tracks kick some major ass (an excellent house track on the
B-side, and a mid-tempo 96bpm very powerfull crowd pleaser on the
A-side, I don't remember the title but there's a live sounding "what's
up Paris!" being shouted in the break in the middle.

I can't tell enough good stuff about Yellow records, it has been my
favorite label for the past four years...
