Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984—1994 — первый официальный сборник суперхитов британского рок-музыканта Стинга, содержит синглы из альбомов: The Dream of the Blue Turtles, …Nothing Like the Sun, The Soul Cages и Ten Summoner’s Tales. Компиляция включает две новые песни: «When We Dance» и «This Cowboy Song» — обе были выпущены как синглы (однако, эта версия «This Cowboy Song» вышла как би-сайд; на а-сайде была издана регги-версия песни, которую Стинг записал в сотрудничестве с Пато Бентоном). Также на диске фигурирует альтернативная версия «We’ll Be Together» и новая версия «Why Should I Cry for You», которая отличается от оригинала из The Soul Cages (но это не было отмечено в буклете диска). Международная версия сборника содержит пять дополнительных треков, которые отсутствуют на американском издание диска. Однако, в этой расширенной версии отсутствуют песни «Be Still My Beating Heart» и «Fortress Around Your Heart».
