In Germany Vogue released the LP titled simply The Searchers and choose another image for the cover. Catalogue No. LDVS 17035. S stands for stereo but the songs are in mono.

Below: US release from February 1965, Kapp   KL 1412 (mono) and 3412 (stereo), entered the charts on March 20th, 1965, reached number 46 and stayed for nine weeks. Compared to the UK records two things are different: Let The Good Times Roll was substituted by their latest single hit What Have They Done To The Rain. And only in the USA the lp came out in true stereo. So these versions remained unheard in the rest of the world until the Searchers Collection CDs a few years ago. But because of substition no stereo version of Let The Good Times Roll is available.
