Sleeve states that the record is manufactured and marketed in the UK by Saydisc. The sleeve is undoubtedly of UK manufacture, but the record feels suspiciously like a US pressing with the AMS SDS catalogue number added to the run-off groove and PRP 21711/PRP 21712 scratched out.

My file copy includes either a Roneo or carbon transcription of an interview with Dunbar, dated February 27, 1970, with the Ahura Mazda record label address (P.O. Box 15582, New Orleans, Louisiana 70115) stamped on several pages.

Inner sleeves with the US issue advertise that Ahura Mazda LPs are available in UK, Eire, Europe, Australia and New Zealand from Saydisc for 39/11 (appoximately £2).
