Pink Floyd "Discovery" set/remasters...EMI only? Or EMI/Capitol?

So, I usually like to avoid imports (Don't ask why, I've been getting so used to getting cds, printed here in the US). Does anybody know if these new Pink Floyd Discovery editions (and box set) will be ONLY from EMI (Printed in EU)?

I was so confused after awhile of having my Oh By The Way set, because I soon found out that it indeed was printed here in the states, through Capitol, but my version is from EMI. I ordered it from the US-Amazon, and it said NOTHING about it being an import (still doesn't), but that's exactly what I got.

So far on Amazon right now, when the Discovery set was first listed, it wasn't an import, that is, up until a few days ago, and now "Import" is listed on the title. However, the individual Discovery editions are NOT listed as an import.

So...what's going on? Is Capitol going to print this all here in the US? Or is it going to be stuck with EMI only? Is the box set going to be the only thing that has to be an import?

Any information on this would be great.

the two are one in the same. Capitol is EMI's US "label". I believe now, after the new agreement between EMI and Floyd, that everything come out of EMI.

I'm not really sure but I think Capitol has their own pressing plants in North America that stamp CDs licensed from EMI, but for special items like box sets they import some of the materials.

Acoustic Sounds (an independent American label) is releasing the hybrid SACD version of Wish You Were Here, but I don't think there is any SACD manufacturing facility left in the USA so by definition it will have to be made overseas.
