Ah, but Canada was a big market for British programs..we had Take It From Here 
forever, as well as Round The Horne and Beyond Our Ken, we had the radio and TV 
incarnations of Hancock, I began hearing The Goons in '56 or '57, and some of 
the Canadian branches of the international record companies tapped this market. 
I doubt that L1684 was issued in the States, though..London Records of Canada 
probably had the use of anything it wanted to issue and could use regular North 
American catalogue numbers.
