Gold (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gold is the title of many music albums. They are not gold albums (albums certified to have sold over a given number of copies in their country), though they may become it. They are often greatest hits compilations, but several are original albums. Many of those albums (esp. those released since 2005) are from Universal Music Group and are often 2-disc greatest hits.

Most, if not all, of the albums share a common layout, with a photograph of the artist below a gold bar, with a black vertical line near the right hand side, the artist's name on the left of the black line, and "Gold" on the right.
