Always thought to be an LP only cover version - all over the world - except for 3 known US copies according to this post on youtube ....

One of only 3 known copies of this 45 that was released by EMI America in 1980. It also appeared on Dexys debut album 'Searching For The Young Soul Rebels'.

Great version from a fantastic l.p.

Didn't know it got a 7" release so thanks for sharing.

Dexy's Midnight Runners-Geno 7" $4

EMI 77011 Canada 1980 Side A Geno Side B Seven Days Too Long

from the quick bit of research I did, not mention of a USA release, just this Canadian one, not on a 7" anywhere else

I know the chap that owns one of these. He might be able to help with the value. I'm sure His cousin in Canada has another. He's a member on here, so I'll nudge him gently to see what light can be shed, value-wise.

Got to admit that I really hate the track but it always seems to get a reaction in certain circles.

What's this doing in "Look at your box"

Thought it should be in the "General fun and knockabout" section to be honest.

Is someone going to post a rare Indonesian copy of Soft Cell singing "Tainted love" next?

Don't be a 'grumpy old man' Steve, what's happened ... someone broke your copy of Kylie's "Time Will Pass You by" 45 ??
