New Light Through Old Windows is the first compilation album by Chris Rea, released in 1988. The album consists primarily of re-recordings of songs released on earlier Rea albums and the single-only release "Driving Home for Christmas" as well as a new song, "Working on It" (which gave him a rare U.S. chart single, peaking at #73 on the Billboard Hot 100, and giving him his only #1 single on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart). The re-recording of "On the Beach" gave him another rare US hit, it peaked #9 on the US AC chart in 1988 and #12 in the UK chart.

All songs by Chris Rea.

The US release featured different cover artwork and an altered tracklisting, shown below :
