''Master Series'' is the title of a line of greatest hits albums, released in European countries primarily by PolyGram International, as well as A&M Records, Deram Records, FFRR Records, Mercury Records, and Polydor Records. In addition, some albums were reissued by Universal Music Group under the ''Universal Masters Collection'' and ''Millennium Edition'' titles. ==Series== Four ''Master Series'' series of albums were released: from 1987–1990, 1996–1998, 1998–1999, and from 2003 onwards. The covers of each series are visually unified: * 1987 series: Black background, "Master Serie" in a sans-serif typeface, the artist's name in a script typeface, a prominent red stripe, and a photo. * 1996 series: Black background, the artist's name in a serif typeface, and a collage of photos. * 1998 series: White background, "Master Series" in a script typeface, the artist's name in a sans-serif typeface, and a photo. * 2003 series: A large photo crossfading into a black background with the artist's name in a serif typeface, and "Master Serie" set against a red glow. The 1996 series represented various bands in eclectic genres (such as new wave) with relatively small followings, and the 1998 series included hard rock/progressive rock musicians and bands. These series are branded with the international title ''Master Series''. The French title ''Master série'' is used to brand the more traditional line with a strong focus on European pop singers, which are frequently issued in multiple volumes. Each subsequent series also reissued some albums from the previous series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Master Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
