Joan Baez: Classics was a 1986 compilation, focusing on her A&M period (1972 - 1976). Released in the mid-80s, the album was significant for being the first Joan Baez compilation to appear on CD, and remains one of the stronger collections of the singer's 1970s work. The CD was part of A&M's series of compilations from artists associated with their label to commemorate their 25th anniversary.
The 1997 Joan Baez' Greatest Hits collection on A&M contained almost the identical track listing as Classics, as well as the same liner notes.
