Description Comments
PS Picture Sleeve Most CDs / CD Singles / Albums / 12" Singles and many 7" Singles come with picture sleeves. A CD or Cassette P/S is an item in a "standard" plastic case. On most pages, the picture sleeve is shown on the left if an image is available.
CS Card Sleeve A Card Sleeve definition varies depending on the format:-
7" Singles / 12" Singles - Not a Picture Sleeve, but perhaps a special company sleeve with the artists' name on it or a promotional custom sleeve.
CD Albums / CD Singles - A 3" or 5" square cardboard sleeve which does not fit into a plastic case.
Cassette Singles - A "cigarette" type case which wraps around the whole cassette. These have no plastic outer case.
DIGI Digi-Pack A digi-pack is most common with CD singles and consists of a CD tray with a cardboard fold on the front and no plastic outer casing.
BOX Boxed Set A boxed set can be a set of several albums / CDs or a solitary CD in a special "box packaging".
SPEC Special Packaging Odd shaped packaging or design which does not conform to the other options above

Import
Country of manufacture or origin Flag showing country of manufacture (if known) or origin. IMPORT is occasionally used where the country of origin cannot be ascertained or is not known to me.
PROMO
JUKE
Promotional Copy Promotional Copies are those not for general commercial sale and usually marked "For Promotional Use Only". These are often copies given out in advance to radio DJs / shops etc. JUKE is sometimes used to describe a promotional record produced for use in jukeboxes.
Trk No. of Tracks The number of songs or tracks on the disc / record.
Val Value The approximate value of a mint condition copy, bought in the UK in £ (pounds sterling). This is very subjective. Prices vary by location! Where two prices are given it may be that some copies offer more (e.g. if some copies of a single come with a free poster, the higher value will be for those with the poster and the lower for those without). This is also the case where a picture sleeve is particularly rare and a record was usually supplied without it and is much more common in a plain sleeve.
