Pure Gold (2)

Profile

[b]Pure Gold (2)[/b] is an international [l=RCA] budget album series, active from 1975 to 1980, replaced in the US by the "Best Buy" series. Not to be confused with the similarly named RCA [l=Pure Gold Series], which is exclusively Canadian. (Canadian issues of US "Best Buy" albums often featured the yellow RCA label: a characteristic of the Pure Gold album series in both countries, as well as others.) In the US, the catalog number prefixes ANL1/ANS1/ANK1-XXXX ALWAYS identify a Pure Gold release. [b]Pure Gold (2)[/b] is in many ways similar to the Canadian sister series: it also launched in 1975 and uses similar typography. However, it is international and lacks the "Series" suffix. Some releases use the album title "Pure Gold", in a font similar to the series logo, instead of the series logo itself.
