The First Ten Years is a 1970 Joan Baez compilation album, which rounds up highlights of her first decade with the Vanguard label.
It was her first "official" compilation, and includes material ranging from her early 1960s traditional folk, through her Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs covers, to her later experiments with classical orchestration and country music. Originally released on vinyl as a two-record set, the 1987 CD reissue consolidated the album onto a single disc, omitting five songs.
The cover photo was taken by rock photographer Jim Marshall. Inside the original gatefold album on the original vinyl release was a photo montage of images from Baez' career.
The CD reissue did not include the following tracks: "Silver Dagger", "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", "Carry It On", "Green, Green Grass Of Home", and "London/Old Welsh Song".
