Hi, I'm looking for a friend a copy on the look alike ABC backed with Eddie Reagan. Cheers, Tim

You'll look for a long time then Tim cos it was never issued with Eddie Regan on the other side...

ABC counterfeit, looks superb, pressed in 1977 and at exactly the same time, Eddie Regan done.

HI Pete I think he means, the US ABC Preessings, in the case of the YUM YUMS, it is the hardest to find now in 2012, DAVE

Cheers guys, boots and reissues are not my speciality and since it's not for me, I haven't been too inquisitive on what price it command nowadays and what pressings/reissue it came out (I just found out it even had a Stardust release (one of the worst label to own any wich record on I think ) ! But still, she'll be happy with any 'good' sounding sort of reissue. Keep looking... Tim

Yes, as I mentioned above Dave - ABC counterfeit pressed in 1977 at the same time as Eddie Regan.

I've turned down £200 for mine. Seriously.

Tim there is an ABC bootleg from about 10 years back with some other artist on the B side (Trends?) which you should be able to find cheaply and easily. It's just the 1977 counterfeit which remains very hard to find.

I'll get me coat

Hi Pete, I have the Sapphires myself (softer spot for me: VOCALS !!!) for myself. Even though I find the Yum Yums also good and different (wich makes it a plus), I for some reason always prefered the Sapphires (against most opinions I guess) and so never was on the look out for it. Even turned down a mint black stock issue for 50 £ some 20 years ago. My friend is really not rich and not into collecting but, she totally fell for it and is having difficulties locating a copy. Wich indeed doesn't prove easy apparently (I wouldn't have imagine that). So the most likely one I could locate cheap and is the one coupled wirth Holly St James (down side to the deal really). Still, if anybody can help me getting one; welcome. Cheers, Tim

Why not just get it on CD then if she doesnt collect etc!

I prefer the Yum Yums. The vocals sound really young and unadulterated.

HI ALL The problem with trying to get the US ABC Boot look a like, is it never comes up for sale, although value is about £20, most people would keep hld of it, as it is such a classic and the price diffarance between origanal, and for many the YUM YUMS is the winner?

Yum Yums is my all time favourite Northern Soul record.

Jesus £160 on popsike for 2nd issue.

Are the Yum Yums just the Sapphires using a different singer ?

some groups did used to use different singers ?
