(P-CPCS)
Edition

From 1965, Parlophone issued U.K.-pressed export editions of albums originally compiled for the U.S. market. These included several Capitol albums, followed by Hey Jude in 1970.
The prefix "CPCS" was used for these albums, with "C" standing for Capitol. A separate group of export editions of regular U.K. albums, including The Beatles and Let It Be, used the prefix "P-PCS" with the usual U.K. catalog number. The additional "P" is thought to stand for Parlophone. The use of Parlophone rather than Apple labels in certain markets may have reflected contractual restrictions.
Export labels generally resembled their U.K. domestic counterparts. The "SOLD IN U.K." statement was usually omitted, although it appeared on some early export copies.
