Cocteau Twins' third album from 1984, the first with Simon Raymonde alongside Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie, reissued by 4AD on 180g vinyl with new masters from high definition transfers of the original analogue tapes.

LP version. The band returned to being a trio in 1984 with guitarist Simon Raymonde joining their ranks in time for third album, Treasure. Produced by Robin Guthrie and featuring tracks ‘Lorelei’, ‘Ivo’ and ‘Persephone’, Treasure is often celebrated as one of the band’s finest works.

As Pitchfork put it when including the album in their Top 100 Albums of the 1980s, “Treasure was titled simply enough. An adjective for the endlessly inventive melodic lines you'd find buried in these songs, and a verb for what you'd do with them for years to come.”

Using new masters created from high definition files transferred from the original analogue tapes, this reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl.

Recorded in August and September 1984 at Palladium Studios in Edinburgh and Rooster in West London, Treasure was written and produced by Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde, with sleeve design by 23 Envelope.
