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]] [[compact disc|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 [[boycott]]ed by fans of the bands. One notable example is the [[Cowboy Junkies: The Platinum and Gold Collection|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. ==Arists with releases in the ''Platinum & Gold Collection'' series== {{incomplete-list}} *[[Petula Clark]] *[[Starship]] *[[Lita Ford]] *[[Platinum & Gold Collection (Lit album)|Lit]] *[[Matthew Sweet]] *[[A Flock of Seagulls]] *[[Ace of Base]] *[[Air Supply]] *[[Alabama]] *[[Angela Bofill]] *[[Aretha Franklin]] *[[Blackhawk]] *[[Carly Simon]] *[[Cowboy Junkies]] *[[Dionne Warwick]] *[[DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince]] *[[DJ Quik]] *[[Dolly Parton]] *[[Eartha Kitt]] *[[Evelyn "Champagne" King]] *[[Frank Sinatra]] & [[Tommy Dorsey]] *[[Gladys Knight & The Pips]] *[[Harry Belafonte]] *[[Henry Mancini]] *[[James Brown]] *[[Jefferson Airplane]] *[[Jefferson Starship]] *[[Keith Whitley]] *[[Melissa Manchester]] *[[Michael Hedges]] *[[Neil Sedaka]] *[[Next (band)|Next]] *[[Perry Como]] *[[Real McCoy]] *[[Rick Springfield]] *[[Roger Miller]] *[[Taylor Dayne]] *[[The Alan Parsons Project]] *[[The Delfonics]] *[[The Guess Who]] *[[The Jeff Healey Band]] *[[The Lovin' Spoonful]] *[[The Outlaws]] *[[The Pointer Sisters]] *[[The Verve Pipe]] *[[The Thompson Twins]] *[[Toni Braxton]] *[[Tony Orlando]] & [[Dawn]] *[[Vince Gill]] *[[Waylon Jennings]] *[[Willie Nelson]] *[[Rick Astley]] [[Category:Compilation album series]] [[it:Platinum & Gold Collection]] [[pt:Platinum & Gold Collection]]
