- OK, since I have all of these records in question, let's get it straight.
-
- 1982 - Yazoo (UK) = Yaz (US) - Upstairs at Eric's
- 1983 - Yazoo (UK) = Yaz (US) - You and Me Both
- This is the duo of Vince Clarke and Alison (Alf) Moyet
-
- 1989 - Yazz - Wanted
- This is pop-oriented house music. The lead singer Yazz is
- a tall black woman with short bleached-white hair.
- She also sang on one of Coldcut's singles.
-
- I purchased this CD domestically about the time it came out. You
- ought to be able to order it fairly easily.
