Let's Work Together: The Best of Canned Heat is a compilation album by Canned Heat, released in 1989.[1] All of the songs are taken from the first five albums released on Liberty Records between 1966 and 1970, except for "Rockin' with the King", which is from the United Artists Records album Historical Figures and Ancient Heads (1971).

Various reissues on compact disc include extra tracks. The compilation was superseded in 1994 by the two CD set Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat on Liberty/EMI Records.[2]

In 2001, a three CD set with the same title was released in Europe with gray market/bootleg recordings of early demos and live material.[3]
