EMI Classics budget series positioned as an introduction to classical music.
The series used different cover colours to mark the type of music on its releases:
- Black: Film and Musical
- Dark blue: Symphony
- Light blue: Vocal
- Dark green: Concerto
- Light green: Instrumental
- Dark purple: Opera
- Light purple: Orchestral
- Light yellow: Choral
- Dark yellow: Chamber
- Grey: Special Edition
The series was continued by Warner Music after purchasing the EMI Classics label in 2013. The colour coding of covers had been abandoned by then.
