This is a sponsored post, it is written by myself and 100% my own opinion. Now those of us in the UK have may have seen the next generation in the "Yell" adverts on TV, the character of J R Hartley from some years back looking for his copy of Fly Fishing has now given way to the new Character of Day V Lately looking for copy of a music track of his. If you have seen the advert than you will probably now that the track is called Pulse & Thunder which is a vintage piece of 90s dance history. Now what you may not know is that there are actually ten copies hidden away in music shops nationwide and if you actually find a copy then you are in with a chance of winning £10,000 worth of prizes. There are loads of prizes in this give away including a 55” Sony 3D TV, a surround sound system, decks, mixing lessons, to mention just a few – together worth an amazing £10,000.

So How Can You Enter The Yell Golden Ticket Competition?

It's really quite simple to enter the competition, download the YELL app for your Android or iPhone or even visit Yell.com and search the vinyl section for Day V Lately track Pulse & Thunder take a picture of it and tag it YELL and upload it to facebook.com/yell, it's really that simple Then you sit back and wait to see if you are one of the lucky ones that is in the running for some of the amazing prizes.

The YELL App

I've had a go with the App myself and via the website myself, it's fun looking for music shops that sell vinyl, believe me there's not that many I actually found the YELL app for my BlackBerry and it's really good, it's certainly one of those apps that will come in usefuly, now that I've got it installed, it's so quick and simple to use, none of this mucking about with heaven knows how many settings, it's ready as soon as it's ran, it also works out where you are, this is ideal for finding those "local services" So get yourselves in with a chance and enter the competition as soon as you can, good luck
