Absolute Treasure was originally announced as a film alongside Absolute Pleasure with both intended as companion piece recordings of live-shows to celebrate the band's 10th anniversary. The initial announcement stated that the band would be playing a special anniversary gig at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on December 15, 2012, consisting of two sets: the first being made up of greatest hits and the second being the album Fire, performed in its entirety. Plans to film the performance fell through, but, otherwise, the gig went ahead as planned. In addition to the two sets, Dick Valentine opened the show with a small solo set and the band performed an encore.
In 2013, the band resurrected the project, raising production funds via a Kickstarter campaign. The show was performed at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, Michigan on September 7, 2013.
Among other fundraising perks, the band offered five opportunities for people to choose a song of their choice for the band to record a cover version of. The songs selected were "Gary's In the Park" by Gary Wilson, "Maneater" by Hall & Oates, "Pokémon Theme" by Jason Paige, "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams, "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals and "2112: Overture/The Temple of Syrinx" by Rush. The success and popularity of these covers lead to the band's second Kickstarter project, "Mimicry and Memories", a full covers album.
