A Collection of Great Dance Songs is a compilation album of previously released Pink Floyd songs, featuring no new material. The album was marketed as a collection of the band's most upbeat and danceable tracks, a deliberate misnomer given the band's notoriously non-danceable music.
- The album was released on November 23, 1981, by Pink Floyd Records and CBS.
- It peaked at number 74 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.
- The album's tracklist was deliberately altered from the original LP versions for reasons that remain unclear, with some songs featuring different mixes or edits.
Pink Floyd were a British rock band formed in London in 1965, known for their psychedelic and space rock, later moving into progressive and art rock. By 1981, they had established themselves as one of the biggest rock acts in the world with a string of hit albums.
