It's not known whether, like Another Kind of Blues, Brand New Age was released in Australia too.

The labels and sleeve state both countries as place of manufacture so it is probable that it was decided to have one release for both countries instead of different pressings.

On the lables after each track the name 'Albert' appears, this doesn't appear on any other release and the origin is unknown.
