The Best of What’s Around Vol. 1 is the most recent hits compilation album by the Dave Matthews Band that was released in November 2006. The 2 CD set is the band’s 1st ever greatest hits album. It features 12 studio tracks on the 1st disc, as well as 8 previously unreleased live songs on the 2nd disc. Inside the CD case of Live Trax Vol. 6 there was an advertisement for The Best of What’s Around Vol. 1. The advertisement was incorrectly claiming that “Where Are You Going” was to be among the studio tracks appearing on disc 1, and that the compilation was to be released on November 6, but not November 7.
