"The Hits Of Baccara" is a compilation album by Spanish duo Baccara released on RCA-Victor in late 1978.
This the first international Baccara hits collection yielded one new single release, double A-side "The Devil Sent You To Lorado"/"Somewhere In Paradise", and also contained their three biggest hits at the time, "Yes Sir I Can Boogie", "Sorry I'm A Lady" and "Darling", but omitted their 1978 Eurovision Song Contest entry "Parlez-Vous Français?".
"The Hits Of Baccara" was launched with a lavish gatefold sleeve picturing the duo visiting Japan and performing at the 1977 World Popular Song Festival held in Tokyo.
In 1990 "The Hits Of Baccara" was to be re-released on compact disc provided with a new title and altered album art, as "The Original Hits".
