"Sliekutēva vaļasprieks" is the first compilation album by Latvian band Dzeltenie Pastnieki, released on quarter inch tape and compact cassette in 1989. Oddly, neither a label nor a catalog number is specified anywhere on the sleeve.

The release is notable for the inclusion of a non-album track, "Karuselis upes vidū", originating from the sessions for "Man ļoti patīk jaunais vilnis" (1982), and two out-takes from the sessions for "Alise" (1984) - studio dialogue entitled "Cik zaļas acis zutim" and an instrumental mix of "Hercogienes dziesma".

The album additionally boasts the most exquisite packaging among the band's official releases, featuring a close-up of a bass guitar on the back, portait photographs of the band members on the inner sleeve, plus a leaflet with track details inside.
