Hatful of Rain (The Best of Del Amitri) is the first compilation album by Scottish alternative rock band Del Amitri, released in September 1998 by A&M Records.

It consists of all the band's British singles released between 1989 and 1998, including the non-album singles "Spit in the Rain" and "Don't Come Home Too Soon", and a new track "Cry to Be Found".

[2] The single "Don't Come Home Too Soon" was the Official Team Scotland Song for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

[3] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Hatful of Rain "an excellent overview of Del Amitri's career", writing, "It may overlook their early independent singles, yet the consistency of their major-label work in the '80s and '90s gives the collection a sense of cohesion, even if it is sequenced out of chronological order.

What matters is that Hatful of Rain contains everything that a casual fan could want while reconfirming their stature as a solid singles band to their core constituents.
