Here we have a record label cash-in album that was a compilation of the bests bits from ’86 and ’87 which was put out by the UK label. Treat were quite big in Scandi and had some success in Germany. but other than that they just scratched the surface in the US. I can’t remember them doing a whole bunch in the UK, so it was a bit bizarre that they put this out at all.

I actually love this band because they sure could write a catchy good time rock song and with most things Swedish, they did it a whole lot better. If you are remotely into melodic rock/AOR from the classic period, then you should definitely give this compilation a listen to.

Somebody at the record company did their homework on the band because you won’t get a better song to start the album with than The Winner. This is Treat at their most rockin’ with a killer riff and groove, and I guarantee you will be singing this one when you least expect it. Sole Survivor is slightly more AOR, but what a killer tune. Massive hook and chorus that would put Leppard to shame.

So many killer tunes here: Strike Without A Warning, Rev It Up… all great songs from an awesome band.

9/10 from The Grooveman.
