Best of

Best of is the band's first compilation album and sixth album overall, released in 2011. Though the press page on the official website displays the title as "Best of Billie the Vision & the Dancers" and the "Products" part of the website from October 2011 talked about a "Best of Billie the Vision and Friends", selling venues only present the album as "Best of". It is a two-disc set, the first one being a collection of songs from previous albums plus two cover tunes, and the second one made of the band's songs covered by fellow bands and artists.

Background and Recording
The idea of making a compilation album "is brought up" within the band, and it is felt that the time is right. During the process they ask old friends, colleagues and "role models" if they wanted to take part in by making their own version of any of the band's songs. They announced that they were starting work on the project on February 15th 2011.

The two cover songs by the band themselves ("Friday I'm In Love", made famous by The Cure, and "I'm a Cuckoo", originally from Belle & Sebastian) were made publicly available on the "music" section of their website on September 1st 2008. It stayed that way until they were removed sometime between March 23rd and April 16th 2010. It's uncertain whether this has any relation to the removal of the songs, but shortly after that their fifth studio album From Burning Hell to Smile and Laughter was released, with its free, digital availability being announced on April 23rd. Other than noting the cover songs were recorded "at different times", there is little to no information on the recording of these songs, including knowledge on who was involved in recording them.

Release
The album was released in May, with pre-orders beginning on April 17th at Bengans.
