Firstly, a lot of UK pressings were expressly for foreign markets, UK Decca's pressings for US & Canadian London being the most obvious example (as well as red label Decca pressings that were intended for Europe, using the UK Brunswick catalogue numbers prefixed by BM), so country of release is more important here, and reflects the true nature of the release - it would be utterly false to say that, for example, a Vera Lynn 78 on London with "Made in England" on it would be a UK release, when the actual UK release was on Decca. As for gaps in the Australian Festival 45 catalogue number series due to export issues, there would be gaps in the series anyway, as some numbers were reserved for New Zealand releases that weren't released in Oz (very unhelpful, I know, when trying to complete a discography!) Is it possible to have two country fields here, one for country of manufacture and one for country of release (the latter possibly allowing for multiple countries to be entered?)
