What's difference between (P) and (C) copyright symbols + advanced question?!..

or performance or something like that
or does it mean something else? And what exactly does the (C) stand for?
Is the (C) for copyright of the song and does that cover both the lyrics
and the musical composition?
Yes.
No.
Also, if the (C) symbol refers to the copyright of the song (lyrics,
composition??), why is the record label being mentioned after the (C)
and not the publisher (or publishing affiliate of the label) since I
thought the publisher has the copyright of the song?!
The record label may also have the publishing rights.
Doesn't matter. The (C) does not relate to the composition. The (C)
covers everything except the music: the graphics, the text (including,
of course, the lyrics).
but
that after the (C) the label (or publisher ?!) of the original artist
will be mentioned, cause they still hold the copyright of the song?!
Yes.
No.
If that's true, how come that when DJ Sammy released his album "Heaven"
which contains covers like "Heaven" and "Boys of Summer", the album
credits say "(p) + © 2002 by Super M?.. Records a division of Gamba
Music GmbH". I can understand the (p), since his label has the copyright
of the sound recording he made, but how can there also be a © if the
album contains covers and © refers to copyright of the song, which he
doesn't have of all songs I suppose. Anybody could please clarify this?!
See above. If they printed the lyrics (you need permission to do
this!), there should be a (C) that refers to the original author.
