I love the fact that although something is illegal/not quite right in 
the US, it means that we Canadians can not order something that we are 
legally allowed to. I have just had this problem with Micheal Finnissy's 
Gershwin arrangements. Although they are not for sale in the US dues to 
some problem or another, they are legal here. The local music show would 
not bring the music in, as it wasn't for sale in the US, and that means 
to them that it is not for sale here (They also have a photocopy (!) of 
US copyright law to inform customers about what they can and can't do. 
The fact that the law is completely different here doesn't seem to 
bother them).

I haven't heard of this problem with recordings pre-1972 before. Can 
someone enlighten me?
