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.
