Member since Jul 2014 3084 Points	Well everything is supposed to be upside down in Australia isn't it Seriously though, we on the "top" side of the world have a similar issue (i.e. mass confusion) with the "European" category. Like you I am cataloguing my CD collection and, as the site is quite new, most CDs in my collection are not already listed here. As an example I've just entered this CD issued by "Not Now Music". I've entered the label as "Not Now Music UK", which currently has 27 CDs listed on this site (including my contribution). This seems fine to me as looking at the packaging it looks like something intended for the UK market, however it does have those confusing words "Made In The EU" written on it somewhere and if I look at the site I can see that under "Europe" there are currently 4 CDs entered as "Not Now Music Europe" with a further one as "Not Now Europe" and another as "Not Now Music Limited Europe". The 6 "Europe" Not Now CDs follow the same numbering system as the 27 "UK" Not Now CDs so I would have thought that they should all be lumped together. "Not Now" looks to be one of those "Out Of Copyright" organisations that specialises in issuing 50+ years old material, based in West Hampstead, London, and they don't look to be some International conglomerate to me (which I would have thought would be one of the criteria for determining "European" and/or "International" releases). Maybe someone here should come up with definitive rules for this and assign one or two of the Mods to keep an eye out for this and shift around Territorial Assignations accordingly. I'm not particularly concerned whether any particular CD I own is listed as "UK", "European" or "International", but there were a couple of occasions when I was cataloguing my vinyl LPs earlier this year when I entered something from scratch as "UK" without realising that it was already on the site as "European" which was a bit bewildering. Hope you don't think I'm hi-jacking your thread with this Lee, but it does seem to be part of a wider issue.
