Treasure is a limited edition compilation album by Holly Cole Trio. It was released in Canada in 1998 on Alert Records. It is a collection of "Hits and Previously Unreleased Tracks" from 1989-1993. However, the sleeve notes concede that Last Rose Of Summer dates from January 1995 but "it is one of Holly's favourites".^[1] There are 6 previously released tracks and 8 previously unreleased recordings.

Critical reception

Heather Phares of AllMusic writes, "Though this collection doesn't attempt to be as complete as Blue Note's The Best of Holly Cole, Treasure 1989-1993 does offer a nice sampling of work from Cole's early years."
