回溯到60年代，是西方搖滾樂最輝煌的時刻，也是人類因搖滾而運用音樂來宣揚愛與和平的世代。就在那個時候，The Rolling Stones滾石合唱團以Chicago Blues、節奏藍調搖滾、British Beat一路進展到迷幻的作品，成為了英國搖滾史上最偉大的樂團之一。滾石合唱團音樂的歷久不衰代表了三重的意義：1.他們是嬉皮世代搖滾樂隊的活化石。2.他們是英國搖滾樂最大的輸出品（其全球巡迴演唱會更每每吸引上百萬的樂迷前往欣賞。）3.搖滾不死！堅持自己熱愛的節奏藍調搖滾，不曾被時間與世代淘汰。
經過了45個年頭，滾石合唱團的音樂，不僅是老而彌堅，更如同鑽石般珍貴，而其主唱Mick Jagger米克傑格的壞男孩形象，更成為後來樂團主唱模仿的對象。Mick Jagger除了在The Rolling Stones滾石合唱團的作品之外，還一共推出了 4張個人專輯，1970年還參與了電影＜Performance＞的演出。
2007年秋天，The Very Best of Mick Jagger的精選CD終於誕生、這張珍貴的CD，除了收錄?Sweet Thing??Lucky in Love??Let's Work??Just Another Night?等取自其4張個人專輯中的熱門單曲外，還有為首部電影＜Performance＞所演唱的?Memo from Turner?、與舞韻（Eurythmic）合唱團的Dave Stewart為裘德洛（Jude Law）所主演的電影“阿飛外傳（Alfie）”所共同打造的金球獎得獎原聲帶的主題作?Old Habits Die Hard?、與David Bowie合唱的?Dancing in the Streets?、與雷鬼大師Peter Tosh合作的?Walk and Don't Look Back?、與Bono （U2）合唱的?Joy?、與Lenny Kravitz合作的?God Gave Me Everything?…等別具代表意義的經典名曲，都一一收錄其中，再加上3首未曾發表過的作品，是一張跨越Mick Jagger四十年個人音樂精華與紀錄的精選輯，也是喜愛滾石合唱團的樂迷不可漏失的珍愛收藏。by誠品書店
There is no rock star greater than Mick Jagger. There are plenty other as great, but nobody eclipses Mick in terms of art and influence, as he virtually created the modern-day rock & roll rebel. Given that, why is it that almost nobody takes his solo recordings seriously? Even his longtime partner Keith Richards is quoted on record calling Jagger's 2001 album Goddess in the Doorway "Dogsh*t in the doorway," a tacit signal that all the dismissive reviews of Jagger's solo stuff were not only justified, but appropriate — a judgment that may be a bit extreme, but in a way it's understandable, because Jagger's solo recordings showcased his least lovable aspects, particularly his relentless social climbing and obsession with style. In the Rolling Stones, this trend-chasing clashed with Richards' stubborn traditionalism, a creative tension that often resulted in tremendous music, but on his own Jagger was able to indulge his taste for fleeting fashion, which gave his solo albums a brittle, dated sound that also accentuated his cold, mercenary edge, which, in turn, made them feel a bit desperate. The Very Best of Mick Jagger, the first-ever compilation of his solo career, doesn't erase that impression, but it does illustrate some merit in it. By not relying strictly on hit singles and mixing in solo cuts from the '70s, when Jagger had yet to start his solo career in earnest, this 17-track set paints a better picture of what Jagger was attempting to achieve outside the Stones, capturing a rocker desperate to leave his status as the leader of the greatest rock & roll band ever far behind. Only "Memo from Turner," his contribution to the 1970 film Performance, truly treads close to the Stones, a cover of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Checkin' Up on My Baby," an unreleased track from his 1993 session with the L.A. blues band the Red Devils, coming in a close second. Jagger's solo career was all about running away from the Stones, but it's nice to have that reminder of his strengths here, since so much of his solo career is so carefully competent, playing to the sounds of the time, whether it's the stiff Nile Rodgers dance-rock of "Just Another Night," the tasteful classicism of the Rick Rubin-produced Wandering Spirit, or the featureless studio sheen of Goddess in the Doorway. More than anything, it's the productions that hurt the Jagger solo albums, as they lack the heart and muscle of the Stones, substituting it for careful craft. At least that sense of craft could still be heard in many of the songs, and many of the best are here, including his first solo hits "Lucky in Love" and "Just Another Night," but also latter-day songs like the lively "Put Me the Trash" and the terrific country tune "Evening Gown." These are solid songs; they're only weighed down by the professional polish, so determined to fit into the mainstream that it winds up being too bland. And that's why all the odd detours that are sprinkled through the album stand out so much: not just "Memo from Turner" and "Checkin' Up on My Baby," but his duet with Peter Tosh on "(You Got to Walk And) Don't Look Back," his goofy duet with David Bowie on "Dancing in the Street," and especially, the John Lennon-produced disco of "Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)," heavily bootlegged but unreleased until now and easily the highlight of this collection. These are times where the music is alive and unpredictable, a perfect contrast to Mick's meticulousness — which, of course, means they feel like the Stones, which is why Jagger never followed their path on his actual solo albums.by AMG
