Universal Classics (2)

Universal Classics is an EMI Classics CD series, first released in the UK in 1993, and described on the inlay card of each issue as "...the essential classical series, promising stunning and acclaimed performances of the most popular serious music". Each release is numbered in the range 1 to 20, and all issues share a distinctive common dark blue design background 'wallpaper' (liner booklet, inlay card and CD label), with large white and black text featuring either the key composer's name or the theme of the release (such as "Baroque"), as appropriate to the content. The design is credited to P. Linard Marketing And Advertising Ltd. See associated images.
