| The Capitol editions were U.K. export pressings based on albums originally compiled by Capitol Records in the U.S. EMI produced these albums for overseas markets, adding "C" for Capitol to the domestic stereo catalog prefix "PCS" to form "CPCS". |
Another group consists of regular U.K. albums issued for export with labels different from those used on domestic releases, possibly because of contractual restrictions in certain countries. For example, the Parlophone label was used instead of Apple for export editions of "The Beatles", "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be". The prefix was "P-PCS", with "P" possibly standing for Parlophone. |
In 1978, EMI issued four Beatles albums on colored vinyl for export to the U.S.
The four albums were: "Magical Mystery Tour", "The Beatles" (White
Album), "Abbey Road"
and "Let It Be".
