VSSL stands for Verband Schweizer Schallplatten Lieferanten, or Association of Swiss Record Suppliers, an industry trade group for record labels and distributors in Switzerland.

If you see this name on a vintage vinyl sleeve, it means the record was officially imported and priced for the Swiss market through this professional union. There is also a price code, MV (Musik-Vertrieb) 63.

AFSD stands for Association des Fournisseurs Suisses de Disques, essentially the French name for VSSL (multilingual country).
