The Very Best ... and Beyond

The Very Best ... and Beyond is a primarily American greatest hits album by the British-American rock band Foreigner released on September 22, 1992 by Atlantic Records. The collection spans the band's history from 1977 through 1987, and includes three new tracks recorded in 1992. The compilation skips over the period in the early 1990s when original lead singer Lou Gramm had left the band, omitting any songs from the 1991 album Unusual Heat.

Earlier in 1992, a compilation titled The Very Best of Foreigner, with a different tracklist, was released in the United Kingdom and Europe. The Very Best ... and Beyond was eventually also released in the United Kingdom on December 7, 1992.
