I think the Kent 45 that came out in the 80s had the alternative take with the different intro too ...

The 150 quid guide price is for the UK issue which I think is worth more like 75 in real life. German copy worth 50 max. I got my copy on Ebay for 1 Euro and was the only bidder, shows what sort of an in demander it is

I still think my german picture sleeve copy looks much much better than either the UK or the italian one...

The italian version of Jimmy Radcliffe came out in Italy on a jukebox 7", there's a scan of it posted somewhere on Soul Source. Motown released foreign versions of their bigger hits all over the world. I recall seeing spanish, french, italian and german versions done by Four Tops, Supremes, Temps, etc. The rarest and by far most collectable german releases are Temps "Mein girl" (my girl) (worth about 250 quid) and Marvin Gaye "Wie schoen das ist" (How sweet it is) (about 75 quid). The flipside to Marvin Gaye "Sympatica" is a german only release, written and produced by a german composer. But on the Northern Soul side of things the only non-english track I recall is the Tielmann Brothers "Viel zu spaet" which is a german cover of Bobby Goldsboro "Too late". Certainly not Soul by any means but at least of some sort of relevance to Northern.

Updated:

It came out on german issue as well but is soooo rare! I once had it on issue but sold it when I got the demo with the picture sleeve, thinking this to be the rarest format Mind even the german demo is not that easy to find...

Haven't heard LaReine La mar for quite some time now but I recall her voice sounding very similar to Marion Stewart. They might have been one and the same?

Right on both accounts, UK issue pressed for the Belgian scene. big center hole and photostat label.

Love it to bits but wouldn't play it out if I had a copy. The lyrics make me sit down and listen to it instead of wobbling around the floor to it...

Not soul, but on Google the first link see here "The world's most expensive record we could find has an estimated value of $180,000.00 USD. Unfortunately the only collection you will ever find it in is that of Paul McCartney. Recorded in 1958 by the Quarry Men, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Colin Hanton and John Duff Lowe, the first pressing of their version of That'll Be The Day would be a jewel in any collection."
