Just to add, Rob, It did get an official UK release too, as I'm sure you are aware...

I see where you looked, on discogs, but the Probe UK came out in 1973 and the ABC UK came out in 1974. So the Probe 45 is UK first press. Discogs contradicts itself, if you click on the Probe release this is what is says in the notes: The first UK release of these 1967 recordings, due to demand from the northern soul scene.

Jimmy James & Vagabonds do a good version but Turley wins it for me.

Yeah, that's what I've always assumed.

Just wondering now if my red issue is an original?

So, as I suspected the 1st UK issue is the one on Probe.

Still no photo of the group?

Yeah, and then a little bit later someone emailed Radio 2 and asked for 'Under My Thumb' and Zoe played the Rolling Stones and said "There's another Northern Soul classic" bless her.

Just for reference here's a former discussion on the topic.... https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/93163-soul-searcher-how-many-version-which-labels/

If you read the description it actually says it was a 'white labelled' copy that had water damage so I can only presume they used a photo copy for the label?

Found this one from 2006, Clifford Curry on the flip...

I only know of the 'Outta Sight' lookalike (but easy to tell). There seems to be one from a box set too? Alternate version? Look here... https://www.45cat.com/record/osv008

You cannot deny the man's dancing credentials, and he really loves the record. If he was my son I'd be as proud as anything. Kudos to him! BTW he's too old to be my son, just putting that out there

There's a re-issue on British cheap.... https://www.discogs.com/Various-Cancer-Is-A-C-II-Charity-Fundraising-45/release/5434288

I know I'm late, but, Average White Band 'Show Your Hand' (MCA) from their first album.
