 I first heard this record on a Jukebox in a pub "Zum Alten Dorfkrug" in Westerland on the Island of Sylt, (northern Germany). This was early summer of 1956.
Renate, a German girl I was dancing with, wrote down the words for me.
I learned the song and the story it told. It became one of my favourite songs and I consider it to have more soul than Dean Martin's original English version.

You probably don't mean that the picture sleeve for this specific single is rare, actually I've seen it many times before. However, this was an exception for an extraordinarily successful record, and it was apparently not printed before the number of copies had passed one million ("Auflage über 1 Million"). Ordinary 78 rpm singles had no picture sleeves in Germany indeed.

 This is said to be the most successful German single ever released. "Heimweh", the German version of Dean Martin's "Memories Are Made of This" (with completely different lyrics) was the B-side but the much bigger hit. As of July 1956 it stayed at the top of the German charts for four months, and the single sold three million copies until the end of 1958 in Germany alone (reportedly 8 million worldwide over the years). Moreover, "Sie hieß Mary-Ann", a cover of Tennessee Ernie Ford's chart topper "Sixteen Tons", was also a favorite and reached #6 in Germany.

 Freddy Quinn's megahit from 1956. The legendary two German cover versions of Dean Martin's Memory Are Made Of This and Tennessee Ernie Ford's Sixteen Tons. Freddy sold millions of copies of that record.

Look at the very rare German picture cover for that 78rpm record. In Germany it was unusual to get 78rpm records with real picture covers. Most of the German 78rpm records from the 1950 had company sleeves with the label hole. Some record companies like Polydor, Electrola-EMI or Telefunken used sometimes picture hole covers or full picture covers for some artists.
