"The Keith Green Collection" is the fourth album released by American piano, gospel singer Keith Green. It was released on August 11, 1981. This is also the only compilation album to be released during Green's lifetime.

Making of the Album

This album was the first album by Green that he did not partake in its production as he had with all of his previous releases. Bill Maxwell yet again took up the role of producing the album as he had done with all of Keith's prior works. The album was made over a span of several months during 1981.

Most of the tracks on "The Keith Green Collection" were previously released on Green albums. The exceptions -- "Rushing Wind", "The Sheep and the Goats", and "Scripture Song Medley" -- were recordings of live performances.
