Collage

Collage is a compilation from American glam metal band Ratt, released on 22 July 1997 on Victor. It gathers alternate recordings, B-sides and different versions of songs from the band's Mickey Ratt days, before they became the Ratt of Out of the Cellar.

It was put together and mostly recorded in 1997 to coincide with the group's reunion tour, giving them a new record to promote on the road. Some tracks have interesting back stories. "Steel River" is an alternate take on the Mickey Ratt song "Railbreak", while "Mother Blues" began life as a Ratt demo before turning up on Arcade's self-titled 1993 release. A year after Collage, the band signed a new major label deal with Sony. It's one for fans who like to dig into the early roots of the band.
