Better Late Than Never is the debut album by the ska/reggae band the Slackers.

The album was a significant departure from the 2 Tone and garage rock influences of the band's early days, instead opting for a sound akin to the traditional ska acts of 1960s Jamaica.

The album was again reissued in 2009, by Asbestos Records, as a single disc that included a 7".

The Florida Times-Union wrote: "One of the first tracks on the album, 'Run Away', starts with a familiar ska rhythm, but adds horns playing in an almost be-bop jazz style.

"[6] All songs written by Vic Ruggiero, except where noted.
