Hi Wayne,
Yes they are part of Pavilion Records, I just checked. If they say you can use this but that it is out of print, I can make a copy from my copy for you.
They have email contact points at their web site.

The Australian contact couldn't help, but I think they are now part of
Pavilion Records in Sussex. I'll soon know.
