Collage is a compilation album by the American glam metal band Ratt. This album consists of alternate recordings, B-sides, and versions of songs from the band's Mickey Ratt period. It was mostly recorded and released in 1997, concurrently with Ratt's reunion tour, so that they would have a new album to promote. In 1998, the band would sign a new major label deal with Sony.

The track "Mother Blues" first appeared as an Arcade song on their 1993 self-titled release, but was originally a Ratt demo, ending up on Collage. "Steel River" is an alternate version of the Mickey Ratt song "Railbreak".

The song went to number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Debut album Chapter One was released later that year, producing another hit in the follow-up single, "Gangster of Love". It also prominently featured female backup vocalist Denine. Collage's success helped spark a renewal of interest in freestyle during the 1990s (on a more underground rather than mainstream level), and Marano went on to work with several other vocalists like Alexia Phillips, Chris Phillips, Denine, Rockell and others.

The second Collage album Chapter II, released in 1999, didn't appear for another five years. However, it still managed to produce a hit single, "Angel". Third album Chapter 3 was released in late 2001, spawning the hit single "Tonight". In 2007, a fourth album was released, Chapter 4.

Collage

Collage (from the , "to glue"; ) is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.

The term collage was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.
