Classic Albums is a music documentary series about pop, rock and heavy metal albums that are considered to be classics, masterpieces, magnum opuses or an artist or band's most distinctive outing. It has been broadcast since 1989 under production of Isis Productions, distributed by Eagle Entertainment and could be seen on TV channels as diverse as the BBC, ITV, Sky Arts and VH1. They are also available on DVD, where more additional material is available.The documentaries are interesting for both other musicians and fans of the artists themselves because they interview both the band members, the producers and other people involved. Apart from that funny and intriguing anecdotes are told, the stories behind the creation of the album are revealed and multitracks are dissected so one can hear separate or different takes of certain tracks.The episodes appear at irregular intervals. | |

What Could Have Been | |
| Classic Albums / int_453871ec | comment |
What Could Have Been: Discussed in-universe throughout the series, where various ideas related to the album and its material are left on the cutting room floor or substantially reworked for various reasons. For instance, the 2003 episode on The Dark Side of the Moon sees Roger Waters mention how "Us and Them" was first written for the Zabriskie Point soundtrack, only for the director to reject it for sounding too sad and Church-like. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Classic Albums / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Demo recordings will sometimes be analyzed, together with multitracks dissected into separate tracks so one can hear how they were mended together in the song everybody knows. For instance, in the Aja episode, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen of Steely Dan play some of the many solos that different session guitarists had recorded for "Peg" before Jay Graydon laid down the one that appears on the album. | |

Rearrange the Song: The record producers, studio engineers and the artist himself often take the original studio tracks from the album and let the audience listen to demo versions, outtakes, acoustic performances, the vocal parts only, guitar and bass part only, lead vocals only,... | |

Set Behind the Scenes: The documentary makers tell how the sessions in creating the album happened, either by showing archive footage, interviewing the people involved, letting the artists play a few of the songs on their guitar and giving the listeners an example how the multitracks sound as separate tracks. | |
