The Original Bad Co. Anthology is a compilation album released by Bad Company in 1999 on Elektra Records. This album marks Bad Company's first new songs since 1982 to feature original lead singer Paul Rodgers. In addition to the classic hits, it also features six B-sides and outtakes. Technical information was retrieved from the 1999 Edition released by Elektra Records. Most songs on this album were previously released on Swan Song Records. The tracks "Tracking Down A Runaway", "Ain't It Good", "Hammer Of Love", and "Hey, Hey" are new recordings made for this compilation. There is a notable omission of "Electric Land", "Gone, Gone, Gone", and "Young Blood", which were fairly big hits with Rodgers.
