Classic Albums Presentation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classic Albums Presentation is a Canadian music program that airs on BPS Television. Each of the 10 episodes created features an acclaimed album, (sometimes a live or 'best of' album), that is played in its entirety. Because it is an album being played, and not a concert, there is only audio and no visuals of the song being performed. The visual shown on the TV screen is the album's cover, and the track number and time (a similar format to the Yule Log on Christmas Day). The program is shown without commercial interruptions. The albums featured on the show include:
Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah
The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Paul McCartney - Choba B CCCP-The Russian Album
The Best of Willie Nelson
Madonna - The Immaculate Collection
The show was loosely inspired by VH1's Classic Albums and by Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Ever Made. The show never had a large audience because people can listen to their favourite albums practically anwhere these days and therefore don't need to watch it on TV.
