The Best of Vol. 1 is a greatest hits collection by Australian alternative rock band, Silverchair, which was issued on 13 November 2000. It includes every single they had released up until that point, except "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.

Original single disc version

The Best of Volume 1 - Complete Videology is both the last VHS and the first DVD made by Silverchair. It was issued by Sony without the authorization of the band, after the split of the band from the label. The complete videology chronicles Silverchair's videos over the years 1994 - 1999 from the Frogstomp, Freak Show and Neon Ballroom albums. The videology shows the evolution of the band, along with some live performances filmed during the 1999 "Neon Ballroom Tour".
