cel (member on here) gave me a copy about 10 years

at the time it seemed that the german 45 was the only 45 release it got , is that still valid or has it showed up in any other countries 45 wise since?

No that know of.

Although Monship's description is not 100 clear, it only states no USA or UK:

Fast becoming THE Motown dancer to own and play. Absolutely no USA orUK release for the title as a 45 and it's right on the money Northern Soul. This rare 1970 GERMAN press complete with Picture Sleeve, needs to be secured ASAP, as the demand has no way near peeked.

No, the most expensive German Motown 45 is Temptations "Mein Girl" (aka my Girl) @200/250

Agree with you, rarely turns up these days. I guess many copies that were in circulation are now hoovered up and tucked away in Northern Soul collections.

Tony

My bargain of the year, war and peace LP, 2 x 12 " contact (signed by edwin), stop her on sight tmg 45,and a couple of 12" disco numbers for the bargain price of £2.60,

was bidding just for the LP really and didn't expect to get it so cheap...result or what :thumbsup:

How much does the british L.P. in good nick go for, cheers Jim.

Cheers for that Dave,

The 45 is sung in English as well, same version as on the LP.

Seems I caused some confusion. Temptations "Mein girl" is the rarest and most expensive german Motown 45 and is sung in german. Edwin Starr is of course sung in english.
