End of Part One: Their Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Wet Wet Wet. It was released on 8 November 1993 and features most of the band's singles released up to that point, along with two new tracks — "Shed a Tear" and "Cold Cold Heart" — which were recorded by Nile Rodgers at The Hit Factory in New York City especially for the album, and were released as the album's singles. The cover photograph was taken at the same time. A re-release of the album also featured their biggest hit "Love Is All Around".
The album reached #4 in the UK Albums Chart when released in 1993 and eventually made it to #1 when it re-entered the chart in 1994 following the success of "Love Is All Around".

† Edited to replace the line "don't waste my fucking spirit'" with "don't waste my angry spirit"; however, Apple's iTunes Match database replaces the censored lyric with the expletive version in their sync with a user's collection.
