P.S. -
RE : "I was interested to see your label quote "Imported and inspected by the CF Martin Organisation" in an above post. Organisation with an s instead of the American OrganiZation, Wonder what that signifies? Probably just a British influence on the Japanese."

Neil, the spelling of "The CF Martin Organisation" with an "S" was actually implemented in the second half of the 70's by...the Martin company itself, believe it or not.

I've seen literature/brochures by Martin from the 70's where they used this name, and apparently the reason why they decided to use this spelling was simply because Martin's management at the time thought that "The CF Martin Organisation" had a somewhat more "wordly" and international ring to it...:)
