First and Foremost is a compilation album of songs by Australian singer David Campbell. The album was released in August 2008 and contains tracks from his earlier Polydor Records recordings from 1996 and 1997, alongside a previously unreleased song from that time. Most of the tracks appeared on his albums, Yesterday Is Now and Taking the Wheel.
The album was released during Campbell's time as a singing mentor on It Takes Two (Australian TV series) (2007-2008) and with his two previous albums (released by Sony Music Australia), both being top 10, platinum selling albums.
