Get the Best of Ray Stevens
''Get the Best of Ray Stevens'' is a 20-track collection of previously recorded songs by Ray Stevens, released in 1987 by MCA Records. All of the songs featured on the recording had been previously released as singles. The versions of certain songs on this compilation are not original recordings or the most popular versions; "Gitarzan" is the album version that begins with cheering and applauding of an audience; "Harry the Hairy Ape" and "Ahab the Arab" are re-recordings that Stevens made for his album ''Gitarzan''; "Freddie Feelgood (And His Funky Little Five-Piece Band)" is the album version from ''Gitarzan'' that contains audience noises; "Furthermore" is a re-recording of Stevens' 1962 song of the same name.
The album mistakenly says that "Harry the Hairy Ape" is provided through the courtesy of Mercury Records, but the version of the song is actually through the courtesy of Barnaby Records.
The front of the album cover shows Stevens being taunted by two clowns outside his private dressing room. Stevens has a black eye and smokes a cigar that has a stick of dynamite inserted inside and has a "kick me" sign on his left side. One clown has a pie in his hand, while the other bends down behind Stevens and aims a gun that has a bang sign at the end of it. Next to Stevens' door, there is a chair with a whoopee cushion on it. Publicity for this collection included numerous advertisements in newspapers and magazines of the day plus a television commercial where Stevens played out various parts of the included songs. This was several years before he would revolutionize the home video industry and explore the profitability of music videos in 1992.
