Treasure Chest is a 3-disc box set by Australian band The Seekers. Disc one contains two new tracks and an interview. Disc two is their 1967 album, Seekers Seen in Green and disc three is their 1968 album, LIve at the Talk of the Town. The album peaked at number 7 in Australia and was certified gold.

Bruce Eder of AllMusic stated, "This triple-CD set is uneven, soaring (and scoring) high with new 1997 material and covering some important historical bases as well. [The disc] opens with one of the finest recordings the group has ever made, 1997's "Far Shore," written by ex-Easybeats' Harry Vanda and George Young. The group also does a good ecological anthem, "Hey Hey Hey," co-written by Durham, which gets into world music territory—her voice still has the same power it displayed 30 years ago, and the group still plays and sings well.
