"Greatest" is a 1990 compilation album by the all-female rock group The Go-Go's from California, United States. The record, which represents the first best-of album by the Go-Go's, includes most of the hits and stand-out tracks from the band's first three studio albums, 1981 "Beauty and the Beat", 1982 "Vacation", and 1984 "Talk Show", only omitting two minor hit singles, "He's So Strange" and "Yes or No". The collection does not include any new song, except for a re-recording of the Sixties cover version of "Cool Jerk" (the 'original' version of the cover was already on the Go-Go's second album, "Vacation"), which was also released as the one single from the compilation, reaching Number 60 in the UK Singles Chart, in 1991, this way becoming the second Go-Go's song to ever enter the British charts (the third and highest UK hit from the band would eventually be "The Whole World Lost It Head", peaking at Number 29, from their second Greatest Hits album, 1994 "Return to the Valley of the Go-Go's).
