Best of the Muppets

The first new muppet album released since Disney purchased the rights to the muppets was released in May 2004. It was released for two reasons: One was so that The Muppets Wizard of Oz would get a soundtrack, and the other was to release what Disney thought were the most profitable muppet songs.

Many fans were disapointed over the fact that, out of the 9 songs that weren't from The Muppets Wizard of Oz, only one of them, Halfway Down The Stairs, had not been included in The Muppet Show 25th Anniversary Collection: Music, Mayhem, and More (CD) from a two years earlier. However, unlike in that album, Bein' Green had it's opening music included, and The Muppet Show Theme was presented in it's full, uncut version as heard in The Muppet Show (LP), though it is a little bit odd that, out of the albums to include an uncut first season theme song, this was the one to have the full version. Muppet Hits and The Muppet Show 25th Anniversary Collection would have been more appropiate albums for this uncut version to be included in.
