The Best of Leonard Cohen is a greatest hits album by Leonard Cohen, released in 1975. In some European countries, it was released under the title Greatest Hits. This alternative title was used for the original vinyl release and for CD reissues from the 1980s onwards.

Background
According to Ira Nadel`s 1996 Cohen memoir Various Positions, Cohen agreed to the project because there was a new generation of listeners and he was given complete artistic control; he picked the songs, designed the package, and insisted that the lyrics be included. The album was not a hit in the United States but did well in Europe, Cohen`s major market at the time. He toured in support of the album in 1976, beginning in Berlin on April 22 and ending in London on July 7. It was during this tour that Cohen recorded the funky, disco-infused `Do I Have To Dance All Night` at Musicland Studios. The single was only released in Europe.

Artwork
The front cover photograph was taken in 1968 in a Milan hotel room by a Gino, according to Cohen`s liner notes. Alternative rock band Ween based the album cover for their 1991 album, The Pod, after this photograph.
