Collection Gold is a compilation album by Cock Robin, issued by the European branch of Sony Music in 1990. It contained fourteen tracks, including several remixes and songs which were not available on Cock Robin's official studio albums. It was released on the CBS label, one of the last releases before CBS changed into Sony Music/Columbia. Its catalogue number is 467626 2.

[edit] The album

Collection Gold was released by the CBS Special Marketing label, as part of a French series of midprice compilation CDs from CBS artists. The midprice CD was issued in France in 1990, but the album was also available in other countries. Although other (and more complete) compilations by Cock Robin have been released, this remains a fan favourite for its inclusion of rare remixes, live tracks and b-sides, which are not available on any other album.

The album is currently out of print.
