Tell the World: The Very Best of Ratt is a career-spanning compilation album by American glam metal band Ratt. It features tracks from all 6 of the band's previous studio albums, including their quartet of consecutive platinum LPs from the mid-to-late-'80s (Out of the Cellar, Invasion of Your Privacy, Dancing Undercover, and Reach for the Sky), plus their 1990 album Detonator and their 1999 self-titled album, as well as a selection from their 1997 rarities compilation Collage, a favorite from their intimate 1990 MTV Unplugged live session, and their single from 1991's Point Break film soundtrack. Ironically, the title track for this compilation, ("Tell the World"), which originally appeared on the band's 1983 self-titled debut EP, is not actually included; in fact, no selection from the EP appears.

Though the compilation sold well and had good reviews, the album has been criticized as missing more hits from Ratt, such as "You Think You're Tough" and "Givin' Yourself Away".^[1]
