The Best of Sade is the first greatest hits album by English band Sade. It was released in the United Kingdom on 31 October 1994 and in the United States on 4 November 1994 by Epic Records. The retrospective was digitally remastered in 2000. The Best of Sade chronicles Sade's first four albums, while also including non-single songs "Jezebel", "Like a Tattoo" and "Pearls", as well as "Please Send Me Someone to Love", which appeared in the soundtrack for the film Philadelphia.
The singles from Diamond Life, as well as Stronger Than Pride's "Paradise" and "Nothing Can Come Between Us", are presented in their 7" edit forms; "Never as Good as the First Time" and "Cherish the Day" are remixes produced by Sade, also taken from their respective singles. None of this information is listed within the packaging.
