Hidden Treasures ( English for: " Hidden Treasures ") is an EP released for the first time in 1995 by the US heavy metal band Megadeth . It contains eight songs that were recorded between 1989 and 1994 but not released on regular studio albums.

background

In March 1995 a special version of the then current album Youthanasia was released in Europe with a bonus CD called Hidden Treasures . Megadeth later decided to release it worldwide as a standalone EP.

The eight songs are soundtrack contributions, cover versions or B-sides . The album cover shows a map of Arizona with the names of the songs in some places. The cover of the limited edition again shows a landscape that was already to be found on the cover of the album Youthanasia .

The limited edition was preceded by the regular songs of the Youthanasia song À Tout le Monde , and the demos for Symphony Of Destruction and Architecture of Aggression (both by Countdown to Extinction ) and New World Order (by Th1rt3en ) can be found here .

In 2007 the EP was re-released. This variant contains the bonus pieces of the limited edition at the end of the sound carrier, A Tout le Monde is included as a radio edit .
