Billy Jones - I'll Keep Holding On - Which Lp's Rarest ?

[The Tempest]

Loving this track at the moment BUT the album so far is on THREE different labels , being Decca ( German ) , Blue Elephant ( Dutch ) and Zafiro ( Spanish ) - am guessing cause it's a Dutch record the Blue Elephant label would be ? Any ideas on price ?
