Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before is a greatest hits compilation album by Barenaked Ladies which includes most of the band's US singles released from 1997 to 2010. The album was originally planned to be released on September 13, 2011, then September 20, 2011, but it was finally released on September 27, 2011. The fourteen-track standard edition does not include any new material, although it is the first time "The Big Bang Theory Theme" appears on an album. This is the second greatest hits compilation from Barenaked Ladies, after 2001's Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991–2001).
The album was released by Rhino Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group which is also the parent company of Reprise Records. Reprise was Barenaked Ladies' record label from their first album, Gordon in 1992, through Everything to Everyone in 2003. Eleven of the fourteen tracks on the album are thus from the Warner Music catalogue, as may be the theme for the Warner Brothers-produced The Big Bang Theory. The theme song was recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario.
The album compiles singles which were released in the US between 1997 and 2010; although "If I Had $1000000" was initially released on Gordon in 1992, the song was not a successful US single until 1997. One non-album single is included; "The Big Bang Theory Theme". The album contains nine songs previously included on Disc One, four songs from three of the band's albums released in the ten years since that release (Everything to Everyone, Barenaked Ladies Are Me, and All in Good Time), and the non-album "The Big Bang Theory Theme". No tracks from holiday-themed Barenaked for the Holidays or the children's album Snacktime! are included.
