'The Very Best of Mick Jagger' is a great collection which features essential tracks from all four of The Rolling Stones frontman's solo albums, plus soundtrack songs and three previously unreleased tracks!

This is the first overview of Sir Mick's distinguished solo career. The earliest track on the album is "Memo From Turner," a raw, R&B burner (showcasing Ry Cooder on slide guitar) that was featured in the seminal 1970 film 'Performance', in which Jagger also starred. The most recent track, "Old Habits Die Hard," also references Jagger's film career. It originally appeared on the soundtrack (produced by Jagger and former Eurythmic Dave Stewart) of the 2004 film 'Alfie', and it won a Golden Globe? for "Best Original Song."

In between those two peaks, separated by more than three decades, Jagger released four solo albums: 'She's the Boss' (1985), 'Primitive Cool' (1987), 'Wandering Spirit' (1993), and 'Goddess in the Doorway' (2001).

Ten selections from those albums appear on 'The Very Best of Mick Jagger', including "God Gave Me Everything," which Jagger co-wrote with Lenny Kravitz; "Joy," on which Bono contributes a guest vocal; "Sweet Thing," the singer's irresistibly sensual 1993 single; and "Evening Gown," a paean to lasting love that closes out this set.

Mick Jagger is arguably the most iconic and famous rock star of all time and this is his definitive solo collection.
