| | I remember seeing a copy of Meddle on domestic Parlophone Phillipines. I feel sorry for the person if he really paid £2000 to that ebayer |

| | That Parlophone pressing was probably for The Philippines, as that was another country where CBS held the Columbia trademark. Cliff Richard was released on Parlophone there, too. |

| | 78rpm-Maniac, you're obviously based in Germany. EMI-Electrola has an interesting history, might be worth delving into one day. |

| | Parlophone and Columbia could operate in India as they were licenced to "The Gramophone Company Of India(Private) Ltd., which was basically(ostensively) an EMI-offshoot but the company was also pressing on behalf of Warner(Warner & Reprise labels) and other companies as well, in the same way EMI in Australia pressed and distributed Decca for many years. The reason EMI couldn't use Columbia in South America is, or was due to CBS holding sway in that part of the world. |

| | Interesting information 78rpm. Beatles and Pink Floyd were pressed as Parlophone and Columbia in India which can be seen as singles on 45cat. Japan I notice in Odeon. Japan fascinates me. It is or was the 2nd largest market for discs historically yet it must rank low on foreign language comprehension as they have issued as Japanese pressings from all over the world and are very knowledgable in collecting original pressings from country of origin. |

| | Hi, ODEON was a very old record-company and Label Name in Germany from the early twentieth century, it started in the 78rpm-ära. Later ODEON moved to Carl Lindström-Record-company with it´s Label Parlophon. Carl Lindström was the founder of the Parlophon-recordcompany in Germany. Later the EMI-Germany-Branch holded the Name Carl Lindström and the Name ODEON. The mother-label was Parlophone by EMi in UK. The German-Issues of the Beatles had been released under the Name ODEON. But why is the ODEON-Inscription on a UK-Release of Beatles or Pink Floyd. Possibly the Label-names Parlophone or Columbia were not allowed by the Mother-Companys, for the sales in South America, so the Company changed the Name. |

| | Usually Odeon is the German(and other Euro countries') substitute for Parlophone, but to see a Columbia LP turn up on Odeon is a bit unusual. |

| | I'd say they only used the standard UK labels until they could print some dedicated Odeon labels... so it's a convenience issue, but the same Cat#, and the sticker signals the same intent, for the same Company (Odeon), so I'd say leave it here as it is the same issue... Just a "Label Variation".
I'm not sire "P" prefix makes a difference to your stickered label coming under this heading. |

| | added a standard uk columbia issue with the export sticker. Is it ok to stay here or does anyone think it needs its own entry as it is a SCX number not PSCX |

| | Hi deepinder A pink Floyd discography site says
"These albums were pressed in the U.K. from 1968 to 1974, and have Odeon Record labels or gold Odeon Record stickers on them. These Odeon Records releases, made by EMI Records, were sold in South America (Argentina, Brazil) where Odeon Records were distributed, prior to these countries making their own records."
they also have an export of saucerful of secrets on the same label here |

| | Hi, there is a similar ODEON-copy from the UK by the Beatles Yellow Submarine-Album, and maybe, the Pink Floyd-record is also an Export-Copy for Malta or British Honduras, as the Beatles record is. |

| | this issue fascinates me. Where was it sent to and how many copies pressed. Did the sleeves differ? |
