Gold & Platinum is a 2-disc best of/hits compilation by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was released in 1979. The compilation spans their peak years from 1972–1977.
The album contains three live tracks from the band's critically acclaimed One More from the Road: "Gimme Three Steps", "I Ain't the One", and "Free Bird".
An Alternate version of the album, with different artwork and the title The Very Best of, substituted the original 1973 studio recording (from (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)) of "Free Bird" (timed at 9:08) for the much longer live track (timed at 14:10).
The album was certified Gold on March 25, 1980, Platinum on August 18, 1980, and 3× Platinum on July 21, 1987, by the RIAA.
