Hi guys, I suspect that the texta blacking out and stickers on sladesounds' copy was done by a US one-stop on behalf of an importer in the UK; this was very common for US Columbia imports brought in by Aussie import shops. If the stickers actually have the CBS logo on them, as it sounds like 78rpm-maniac's copy does, then those would be authorized exports by US CBS for their affiliates in other countries; I would imagine that copies for US bases would fall into that latter category.
