Platinum & Gold Collection

Platinum & Gold Collection

Platinum & Gold Collection is a series of budget-priced greatest hits compilations for recording artists on the labels of Sony BMG. The series was launched as a Sony BMG counterpart to Universal Music Group's successful 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection series. Most Platinum & Gold Collection albums contain 12 tracks.

The Platinum and Gold Collection is a series of discount-priced greatest hits CDs by bands who have recorded for BMG or its subsidiaries.

The albums are often compiled by the label without the participation or approval of the bands being anthologized, and as a result, the CDs are often boycotted by fans of the bands. One notable example is the Cowboy Junkies anthology.

However, for some older artists, Platinum and Gold Collection CDs may also be the only hits compilations currently available in record stores.

Famous quotes containing the words platinum, gold and/or collection:

    Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
    politeness,
    You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
    And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
    fern.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
