The Best Of - Volume One

The Best Of: Volume 1 is the first compilation album by Australian rock band Silverchair, which was issued on 13 November 2000. It includes every single they had released up until that point, with the exception of "Shade". The album peaked at No. 15 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In March 1999, after the release of Neon Ballroom, Silverchair's three-album contract with Murmur and Sony Music had ended. After leaving the label, Sony issued The Best Of: Volume 1 without the band's consent. Late in November 2000, Johns disavowed the compilation: "We thought about putting out ads in the street press to make people aware that we weren't endorsing it, but that would have blown the whole thing out of proportion ... If people want to buy it, they can buy it but I wouldn't buy it if I was a Silverchair fan." The second disc from the limited edition was later released in December 2002 as Rarities 1994–1999, an entirely new product with its own artwork.
