The Very Best of Chris Rea

The Very Best of Chris Rea is the third compilation album by the British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 2001.

In Portuguese, the word saudade roughly means the feeling, emotions and euphoria of a certain moment in time. This album reached number 69 on the UK Albums Chart, and was certified Gold by the BPI in 2004.
