| 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. | ||||||||
| 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-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. | ||||||||
| Boxed Set | A boxed set can be a set of several albums / CDs or a solitary CD in a special "box packaging". | ||||||||
| Special Packaging | Odd shaped packaging or design which does not conform to the other options above | ||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||
| 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. | |||||||
