The difference on mine is the sticker on Side 2 witch states "Made in England for RCA Victor Company Ltd". Would this be classed as an export copy? Thanks. I would be inclined to list that as a legitimate Canadian issue, as it sounds like it was imported by RCA Victor Company Ltd. and quite likely listed in their local catalogue. By the same token, I have somewhere (can't find it right at the moment) a US Capitol catalogue from 1977 or 1978 which lists some UK HMV Greensleeves imports which were stickered with Odeon logos for US release, because Capitol didn't have the rights to the HMV trademark. Discogs would most likely list those under the UK issues, arguing that they are not unique pressings, but we don't have to follow what they do - the stickers plus the US catalogue listing is enough to make those US releases as far as I'm concerned.
