The Days of Pearly Spencer is a compilation album by The Vietnam Veterans, released in 1988. It was the band's last full-length album before they broke up.

Their record label gave the following statement: "The Vietnam Veterans are no more. This album contains material which was recorded during long night sessions, but remained unreleased. With the re-recordings of the old 'demo' songs, they want to prove that they are better than ever. Now it's time to die!"[1]

The Vietnam Veterans have later come to life again, and released a new full-length album in 2009.[2]
