Labels state "Made in U.S.A.". For export?

It says 'A Pickwick International product' so presumably these were exported all over... should probably be moved to USA though - are they all like this?
EDIT - No, I see the others are all made in England... US people - do you remember these being sold in the US?!

btw - I like the way they've had to add 'in normal use' to the 'non breakable' claim!

The "USA" discs like this one are coloured vinyl - you can see through them. And all the ones I've seen use this "radial" pattern. I don't know much about the manufacturing process of these things but I think it's correct to call the "England" ones picture discs, and their patterns are more splodgy. I have a "USA" edition of the Goldilocks disc, whereas the "England" one has been uploaded on this site. So the same discs are in circulation in both forms. The "USA" discs seem to be less common but there are plenty about. I've wondered whether they were initially made in England and at some point switched to import, or vice-versa. Does anyone know?

Added US pressings of another record in this series 7HT 904 as British because Happy Time only exists on 45cat as a UK label. The American pressings have a completely different pattern and look lovely in front of bright light. I think the US discs should have their own category which probably means a US version of HappyTime.
