Cheap Pearls and Whisky Dreams – The Best Of
Cheap Pearls and Whisky Dreams – The Best of is a compilation album by Scottish band Love and Money, released by Fontana in 1999. Critical reception

On its release, Neil McKay of Sunday Life wrote, "A vehicle for the classy songwriting of James Grant, Love and Money made some fine soul and country tinged pop rock over the course of four albums spanning the late 80s and early 90s." Nick Duerden of Q noted the band's shift from their initial image as "Scotland's latest rock hopes" to "a cult act whose heart-on-sleeve approach often went against mainstream tastes" after Grant discovered "jazz, subtlety, and artful contemplation". He described Grant as being "blessed with the lyricism of a poet" and added it was a "shame" that the band "only ever reached a tiny audience". Track listing
