'''''Skynyrd's First and...Last''''' was the original name of the [[posthumous work|posthumous compilation album]] first released in 1978 by the rock band [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]]. The original 1978 version of the album is now out of print. In 1998, it was repackaged, renamed and re-released as '''''Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album''''', which was expanded to include eight additional tracks – four of which were previously unreleased and four which would appear on ''[[(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)]]''. As the renamed title suggests, the album was recorded at [[Muscle Shoals Sound Studio]] in [[Alabama]]. This album was originally planned to be their debut album before getting shelved, making ''(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)'' their actual debut. The album was certified Gold on 9/8/78{{Clarify|reason=ambiguous date format|date=February 2016}} and Platinum on 11/10/78{{Clarify|reason=ambiguous date format|date=February 2016}} by the RIAA.

The album contains early band recordings from 1971 and 1972. It is considered an essential album by most fans of the band,{{Says who|date=Februaryaccording 2016}}to many, as the tracks are either not available on other albums, and later with the 1998 re-release, contains original versions of re-recorded songs that are on the other studio albums,{{Clarify|reason="either" without "or"|date=February 2016}} which are now all on one album. However a few of these early tracks were later released on compilation albums such as ''[[Best of the Rest (Lynyrd Skynyrd album)|Best of the Rest]]'' in 1982 (1990 on CD) and again on the [[Germany|German]]-based [[Repertoire Records]] release ''[[Old Time Greats (Lynyrd Skynyrd album)|Old Time Greats]]'' in 1997.
