The Very Best of Peter Allen: The Boy from Down Under is a greatest hits album by Australian singer-songwriter Peter Allen, released in Australia in August 1992 through A&M Records.
This album was released less than two months after Allen's death on 18 June 1992.[1]
Allen wrote or co-wrote all but two of the tracks on the album.
Adrian Zupp of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5, stating; “His songwriting range [from] tender ballads through to poppier fare and even campy fun numbers, has rarely been rivaled…[and this album] captures the cream of Allen's career on one highly engaging disc.” Zupp concluded that “this album spans the moods and melodies that made Peter Allen such a special artist.”[2]
