Hidden Treasures – Volume 1 (also known as Hidden Treasures: The Rarities Collection Volume 1) is a compilation album by Australian band The Seekers. The album was announced in April 2020[1] as the first of a trilogy of releases featuring lost classics and rarities.[2]

Hidden Treasures – Volume 1 was released on 22 May 2020 and contains seven live performances from their 1967 Sidney Myer Music Bowl show, the first time they've been heard since that concert.[3]

Reception

Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine called the album "A celebration of pure talent." Jenkins said "The Seekers became the first Aussie band to top the UK and US charts not because of any studio trickery but because they were simply a fine singing group."[4]
