How can they call it “The Very Best of Mick Jagger” and then put only his solo tunes on it?!?!? Wouldn’t you think that a CD called “The Very Best of Mick Jagger” would actually be full of Rolling Stones songs?!?!?

Unreleased Tunes Revived For Jagger Collection
A handful of unreleased tracks will enrich “The Very Best of Mick Jagger,” due Oct. 2 via Atlantic/Rhino. Chief among them is 1973’s John Lennon-produced “Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup),” which features Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Harry Nilsson on backing vocals and keyboardist Al Kooper, among others.
Two buried tracks from a session with producer Rick Rubin are seeing the light here: a cover of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Checkin’ Up on My Baby” with Los Angeles blues band the Red Devils, and “Charmed Life,” which has been remixed by producer Ashley Beedle.
Also featured on “Very Best” are Jagger’s two biggest solo hits on the Billboard Hot 100: a cover of Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Street” with David Bowie (No. 7) and “Just Another Night” (No. 12). His collaboration with Peter Tosh on the Temptations’ “(You’ve Got To Walk And) Don’t Look Back” rounds out the track list.
