Collectible Spoons is a greatest hits collection by the Toronto band Spoons. It includes material from their first four albums on Ready Records (including a couple tracks from their lesser-known debut album Stick Figure Neighbourhood), but ignores the last two (much more guitar-driven) albums, Bridges Over Borders and Vertigo Tango on Anthem Records. This is currently the only widely available Spoons album on CD.
