All issues were distributed in the U.K. at the time apart from issue #1 which was Non Distributed in the U.K. and was very scarce in the U.K. compared to other ND issues of the time.
Issue #1 was definitely Non Distributed in the UK at the time.
Having said that #1 was officially Non Distributed, weirdly a Purple Variant (where the cyan-magenta colour mix went wrong) seems to have come over to the UK in tiny quantitles and sold in newsagent with an 8p ink stamp. I found one in my local newsagent in Camberley in Surrey where I grew up!
I would guess that there were a few thousand of these 'error' copies and while you see US 20 cents cover priced ones on eBay from time to time, I haven't seen a UK Variant 8p one. Yet.
