Quiet Heart: The Best of the Go-Betweens is a compilation album by Australian alternative rock band, the Go-Betweens. It peaked at No. 51 on the ARIA Albums, No. 48 on the ARIA Physical Albums, and No. 15 on the ARIA Australian Artists Albums charts.[1] Ian Wallace of Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) described how, "[it] is the first collection that spans the band's entire recorded output... A second disc features a live recording from 1987."[1]
The tracks were selected by original band members Robert Forster, Lindy Morrison, Robert Vickers and Amanda Brown[2] after a "long and arduous process."[3] Unlike previous compilations, the tracks covered their entire career including the reformation years – critics were split on whether the later era songs seemed out of place,[4][5][6] but all appreciated how the tracks flowed especially the "conscious sequencing"[7] contrasting early singles with latter reformation era tracks.
