Great piece! I always find these US/UK differences very interesting: popularity and market trends, of course, but on a related (and much nerdier, admittedly) point: different album editions! Correct me if I am wrong but I feel this was quite common in the early 90s with some pop releases: depending on where the artist originated from, the packaging, track list, and sometimes even the mixes were different across the US and UK markets!

Another thing I noticed is different UK vinyl cover art in early/mid 60s records by US artists (Aretha comes to mind). I’ve always wondered why.

Fun fact: It was the Tremelos that Decca chose to sign over The Beatles after the infamous Decca audition.
