The Best of the Early Joe Cocker è una compilation del cantante-pianista britannico Joe Cocker, pubblicata nel 1976 dalla RCA Lineatre e ristampata, l'anno dopo, dalla Oxford.

Il disco

Contiene brani originariamente pubblicati nei primi due album del musicista britannico (entrambi usciti nel 1969) e appartiene alle serie economiche denominate Linea Tre (per la RCA) e Oxford (per la Ariston), i cui album venivano venduti a prezzo ridotto.

I brani A1, A3, A4 e B2 sono estratti dall'album di debutto With a Little Help from My Friends, il cui titolo è preso dall'omonima canzone dei Beatles (presente nel loro album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band); mentre il resto di essi è estratto dal secondo album Joe Cocker!.
