Greatest Hits is the first Rheostatics album. Only 1,000 copies were released in 1987, and all sold out. However, the album was subsequently rereleased in 1996.

Despite the album's name, it is not a greatest hits compilation in the conventional sense. It does, however, compile songs from the band's pre-1987 demo releases. The album's best known song is "The Ballad of Wendel Clark, Parts I and II", an ode to Toronto Maple Leafs player Wendel Clark.
