"All the Best!" was the second official compilation album of Paul McCartney music, after 1978's "Wings Greatest" and was released in 1987. The album contained tracks from the beginning of his solo career in 1970 through (on British editions only) the newly recorded "Once Upon a Long Ago." The track inclusion and running order varied slightly between UK and U.S. editions of "All the Best!" to reflect the popularity of particular songs in each country. CD and vinyl versions of the British edition also varied, as the time constraints of a single compact disc versus a double-vinyl album led to the elimination of three cuts on the British CD edition.

As on "Wings Greatest", songs that had originally been credited to "Paul and Linda McCartney" now read just "Paul McCartney".

Released just as McCartney was beginning work on his next major studio album, "All the Best!" was a big success, reaching #2 in the UK (being knocked by George Michael's debut album "Faith") and although it peaked at #62 in the U.S., it eventually went double platinum there.
