Be Well, Be Safe, Be Lucky... The Anthology is a compilation of solo and related work by the British guitarist Peter Banks, ^[1] released by the Peter Banks Musical Estate in March 2018 on the fifth anniversary of Banks' death. ^[2]

The release draws on Banks' solo releases – The Two Sides of, Instinct, Self-Contained, Reduction and Can I Play You Something? – with additional tracks from other projects, including the Yes tribute album Tales from Yesterday and the Flashback collaboration with Gerard Johnson. "Knights (Revisited)" is a previously unreleased track, based on an unfinished guitar track by Banks and completed posthumously by Tony Kaye, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen, who had all separately worked with Banks over the years.
