Wasn't this and Eddie Regan pressed up on lookalike demo's in the 70's?, as I remember the label smudges if wetted a little.

That was the Sapphires version I on ABC

Yes you're right, both Yum YUms and Eddie Regan done at the same time by the same people, both originally sold in proper ABC sleeves as well, my mate got done by the Eddie Regan for £8 which was a lot of money still in 1977. There is a tiny smudge on the label of both of them, more on the Eddie Regan.

The one that Steve is referring to is the UK issue of Eddie Regan b/w Sapphires. Different thing altogether.

Hi Pete always thought the run out groove was wider on the boot. Just had a look at mine, this is original, The run out groove is 0.8cms from label to record. It has ABC 12661 in the run out and at about 1 o clock on Big thing side it has a very feint cap L with a w underneath. The L is not set at the same position as the ABC number it is rotated a quarter turn. The print is very sharp it is vinyl not styrene. Must find some work to do. LOL! :thumbsup:

No it's a normal run out Steve - unless mine is in fact an original :lol:

 

Always been lead to believe this is the boot Pete, the 6's are 'looped' on the matrix where as on the original the 6's are more like a lower case 'b' if that makes sense, think there is a '2' that's looped also,
