Greatest Hits is a 1970 album by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. It was the group's first compilation album, with all selections coming from its first five albums. The album was released a few months after Alpert had disbanded the group. It rose to #43 on the U.S. charts,[1] and to #8 in the U.K.[2] The album was eventually certified gold in the spring of 1971.[3]

Greatest Hits was released during Alpert's four-year sabbatical from performing, when he concentrated instead on producing records for other artists signed to his A&M label.
