Highly Prized Possession is the tenth studio album by Canadian country pop artist Anne Murray, released in November 1974. In the U.S., the album peaked at number 8 on the country album charts and number 70 on the pop albums chart; in Canada, the album reached number 26. Murray's cover of the Beatles' "Day Tripper" was released as a single (following her chart success the year before on another Beatles cover "You Won't See Me"), and it reached # 59 on the Hot 100, but failed to hit the U.S. Country chart.
