Well, export issue might work if this weren't a Columbia Record Club exclusive, but being a mail-order club issue would have restricted it to residents of the USA and/or Canada.

Hi Phil, maybe it can be an Export issue with the use of the old "German-Star-label" for some other countries. There are some other curious examples of the so called Export-issues. Look at the Beatles UK-Parlophone Export-LPs with the lookalike US-covers and the P-PCS numbers or something like that.

Discogs has this as a US edition from 1967, though their copy is on the later red Polydor label. However, being on any Polydor label in the US or Canada is a problem, as Bert Kaempfert was with Decca (later MCA) for the US and Canada until at least the mid 70s, and this album had previously been released by Decca in both countries. Makes me wonder if there was some quirk in Kaempfert's Decca contract which allowed record club releases to be on Polydor, which otherwise wasn't established in the US until 1969 (though 1966 in Canada)?

Hi, this is NOT a German pressing. Looks like an US or Canadian edition, with the use of the very old Polydor-label-style.
