Master Series is a compilation album by the British synthpop band Visage released in 1997.

Contents

Background

The album was released only in continental Europe as a part of the Master Series collection, and it is now one of the most hard-to-find Visage records. The compilation includes most of the band's UK singles as well as rare tracks "In the Year 2525" (a 1978 cover of Zager and Evans' original), "We Move" (1983 remix by John Hudson) and "Der Amboss", the German-language version of "The Anvil". Master Series also featured 2 album tracks from Visage and 3 from Beat Boy, remaining (until March 2009) the only way to find album tracks from the Beat Boy album on digital format. Track 15, "Motivation", was added to the track listing by mistake and is an unknown group's track, not a Visage song.
