The Best of the Wailers is the fourth studio album by the Wailers, released in August 1971.[1] Despite its title, it is not a compilation album. The album was recorded in May 1970 (prior to the band's involvement with Lee Perry) but not released until August 1971.[1]

The album was produced by Leslie Kong, who died of a heart attack at the age of 37, a week after the album was released.[1]
