This album is a collection of demos and unreleased tracks. This album, and another album titled "Rare Tracks" are pretty much the same, except some of the tracks from both albums aren't present on both albums. This album is better than Rare Tracks, because it has more tracks than the other. Some of the songs here are really good, like "Killing Me D.J.", "Crazy", "Liberty / Adriana", "In The Corner", "Falling", "Break Down", "Addicted", and "Tour De France". Those are my favorite songs off of this album. I would definitely recommend this album to any and to every Sweetbox fan. But if you never heard of Sweetbox or Jade Valerie, don't buy this album, at least not yet. Because if you listen to these songs first, and not the finalized versions, you most likely won't like Sweetbox or Jade Valerie. That's why this album's more for like the ultimate fan, or for someone who has to have them all. It is a great album to have and to listen to, and to know how the songs would of been like if they weren't further worked on at the time of recording the previous albums. What I would recommend for first time listeners, is to preview the album "After The Lights". It's the only Sweetbox album that I can listen to ALL of the songs AND love them a lot! Other albums I would recommend first before Raw Treasures are "Adagio", "Classified", and "Addicted". I would also recommend Jade Valerie's later albums "Out of the Box", "Bittersweet Symphony", and her most recent project "Eternity'" (the Japanese version). Also, take a listen to her other recent project "Saint Vox". Both self titled albums are really great. But her Sweetbox days were so much better, so listen to her old albums first, 'cause they rock!

I love this cd...because I'm a die-hard Sweetbox fan. Alot of the songs on here are either songs that exist on Jade's other Sweetbox albums or weren't ever truly released. This like a collection of her greatest demos. However, there are some songs of her BEFORE she became a part of Sweetbox on here. Thats why I say this is for the true Jade or Sweetbox fan. Some of the songs are very rough.

i love sweetbox even though i am american. all of her songs on this cd are good! buy it!
