Better Than the Rest is the third album (mini-album) of songs by George Thorogood and the Destroyers, recorded in 1974 and released in 1979. When the songs were recorded, Thorogood was an unknown artist who was not signed to a record label. After he had released his first two official albums on Rounder Records in 1977 and 1978, Better Than The Rest was released by MCA. In 1986, the songs from this album were released on compact disc with the title Nadine, in a different track order.
