The Very Best Of Winger
''The Very Best of Winger '' is a greatest hits album by American rock band Winger, released by Atlantic Records and Rhino Entertainment in October 2001. Most of the songs on the album were collected from the first three Winger studio albums: '' Winger'' (1988), '' In the Heart of the Young'' (1990), and ''Pull'' (1993).

According to frontman Kip Winger, "On the Inside" was a leftover riff from the ''Pull'' sessions that he and Reb Beach worked into a complete song for the release of this compilation.
