Time for Heroes – The Best of The Libertines is the greatest hits collection by English rock band The Libertines, released in October 2007 on Rough Trade Records.[7] It is the first material to be released by the group, who split up following a deterioration in the relationship between Pete Doherty and the other members of the band, since the single "What Became of the Likely Lads" in October 2004. The album contains no previously unreleased material. However, "The Delaney" and "Don't Look Back into the Sun" do not appear on any of the band's albums whilst "Mayday" and "What a Waster" appear only on Up The Bracket in Australia and America. The album had zero input from the band.
