Sade: The Ultimate Collection versie op 2CD in remastered editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij RCA in samenwerking met Epic en Sony Music op 1. maart 2013.

It's been 18 years since the British singer Sade last appeared on German concert stages - but on May 3 it will indeed be again: on that day her seven-day tour starts at Hamburg's "O2 World". Just in time for the start of the tour, "The Ultimate Collection", a comprehensive showcase of the work of the multiple Grammy Award winner, will be released on two CDs. In addition to all the classic tracks from the past 27 years of her career, it also contains three brand new pieces, including "The Moon And The Sky", a collaboration with rap superstar Jay-Z. Since 1983, Sade has released six studio albums with her eponymous group, selling more than 50 million copies worldwide. After a ten-year hiatus, she celebrated a sensational comeback last year with the LP "Soldier Of Love": the album went from zero to number one on the US Billboard charts and has sold more than a million copies to date. In the German chart, "Soldier Of Love" came in at number two and secured Sade's highest position in 25 years. Review.(Audio, July 2011) "Many of these songs are timeless, perfectly produced classics thanks to Sade's voice, with newer - from her 2010 comeback album - and recently unreleased songs seamlessly joining them." (Stereoplay, July 2011)
