Yobs, The - Xmas II (LP) The Boys white with blue red marble Vinyl

The long deleted “Xmas 11” album by THE YOBS will be available for the first time in almost 35 years when it is given a Special Limited Edition coloured vinyl release in White Vinyl with blue & red marbling (limited to 400 copies). The albums will include a full lyric sheet as well as notes from Matt Dangerfield.

Having released an album and two singles on NEMS, The Boys decided to swap the ‚B‘ and ‚Y‘ in Boys and became The Yobs for their 1977 Christmas single „Run Rudolph Run“. In 1978 The Boys were in dispute with their record company and bootlegged themselves as The Yobs for their Christmas 1978 offering of „Silent Night“.

After signing for Safari in 1979 „Little Drummer Boy“ was given The Yobs treatment and appeared as „Rub A Dum Dum“ in time for Christmas. To promote „Rub A Dum Dum“ The Yobs appeared live at the 1979 Safari Christmas Party at the Music Machine with Gary Holton as MC. They were supported by fellow Safari stablemates Toyah and The Boys! The Yobs came on with stockings over their heads to conceal their identities but only managed to play a few songs before the stage was invaded by punks. The over-enthusiastic stage invaders wrecked all the equipment so the gig had to be abandoned – it was to be the only time the five original Yobs.
