Actually my interest was more from the marketing standpoint and not the 
actual issue of the records themselves...i.e. when did US record sellers 
realize there could be a market for  British (or other) popular material, 
either via imported disks or actual American issues of the foreign records? 
.  So both categories are of interest to me.
