  The Best of The Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Best of The Band was the first greatest hits package by Canadian-American rockers The Band.
Featuring ten tracks taken from six of their first seven albums (not counting 1974's Before the Flood or 1975's The Basement Tapes, both with Bob Dylan), it featured two tracks from the first, second, third and seventh albums, one each from the fourth and fifth, rounded out by the early 1975 single "Twilight".
No substitute for the albums themselves, as the group certainly were no singles act, for the uninitiated, it was still the best way to get into the group without purchasing a multi-disc anthology or all of the original LPs until the release of 2000's Greatest Hits.
