| One is so-called "Capitol Editions" which were made
originally by the Capitol Records in the U.S.A. EMI produced the
albums in response to a demand from foreign
countries and put the new record number prefix "CPCS",
adding "C" for Capitol to the domestic stereo number
prefix "CPS". |
Another one is
regular U.K. albums with different labels from the U.K.
domestic releases, perhaps the U.K. domestic labels were
forbidden in some countries due to a record contract. For
example, the Parlophone label was used instead of the
Apple label on exporting "The
Beatles", "Abbey
Road" or "Let It
Be" to those countries. The prefix was "P-PCS",
"P" maybe for Parlophone. |
EMI has released four albums of The Beatles on the
colored vinyl in 1978. These editions are produced for
export to the USA only. This is a limited and rare
editions.
There are only four albums: "Magical Mystery Tour", "The Beatles" (White
Album), "Abbey Road"
and "Let It Be".
