Hi Wim,

You have to learn the members here first about the German gospel covers.

Here are the gospelcovers released in Germany

These singles were released in this cover.
47-0651 Joshua Fit The Battle - Known Only To Him
47-0652 Milky White Way - Swing Down Sweet Chariot
47-8950 If Every Day Was Like Christmas - How Would You Like to Be
it was the original cover for these singles and they are quite rare.
(with exception of 47-8950)




These were released as reissues and are even rarer than the above.

47-9287 There's Always Me - Judy
47-9466 The Walls Have Ears - Song Of The Shrimp (the one you posted)
I think this is one of the rarest ones. I know only one collector who has this cover.
Do you have this one also ? Than You are the second one.
47-8188 (You're The) Devil In Disguise - Please Don't Drag That String Around.
47-0643 Crying In The Chapel - I Believe In The Man In The Sky
This one could be a fake. It was sold ones on Ebay, but I haven't seen one yet.
47-7410 I Got Stung - One Night
47-8340 Viva Las Vegas - What'd I Say
I don't have an image from this single. Who can show this cover here ?





Do I miss one or two here ?
Collectors please help !

ps.
Its greetings not greethings.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
Hope to see more from your collection this year.

Hi Wim and Jans,

Happy new year to you both and all the other readers of this great forum!!!

Here are two other "gospel" covers who you have left out.

The first is the other version of the There's always me / Judy cover. The print is smaller and different types of letters have been used. I think this cover is rarer than the normal version! I also think this cover came with an orange label single O1 (or even O2, if this one exists).

OK, here's the second scan!

This might even be rarer than all above shown covers. (I know of two copies only) This is a Gospel cover without any titel! This one should never have left the printingfactory!!!! The Germancollectors call these covers "Vorabhüllen" Enjoy. Jans, great job explaining the gospelcovers to everybody!! Enjoy! Greetings Jan.

Hi Jan,

Happy new year to you too !

Great scans, thanks.
Especially the "vorabhülle" is amazing and SUPER rare.
Do you know if the Crying In The Chapel cover is real ?

Jans

Hi Jans, in my opinion, the crying in the chapel gospelcover is a fake!! In this age of computers and photoshopping it's not that difficult to make something like this. But than again who knows what's all really outthere. Perhaps one of the readers of this forum has a copie in his or her's collection. Than I will gladly take my words back!!

hello jans

Hi Wim,

AMAZING
Do you own all these yearcovers without titles ?
They shouldn't have left the factory. How did you get these ?
I never saw one for real.

ps.
This should be a different topic.
The title of this topic is gospel cover and these ofcourse are yearcovers.
