Pure Gold (2)

Pure Gold (2) is an international 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 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. Pure Gold (2) 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.
