The review

This release looks like a reduced version of the 9 discs release of the same name: Solo Works 1964-2007 (WLR 2156) whose intent is again to highlight Jagger’s solo career as well as his collaborations with other artists. It presents many hard to find tracks that only collector have pursued over the years together with other ones easily accessible. Disc One starts with the Andrew Oldham Orchestra cover of the Ronettes, followed by a song with Eric Clapton, the obvious soundtrack tunes of Performance and Ned Kelly and the great blues from Jamming With Edward with Nicky Hopkins It Hurst Me Too where Jagger uses some Dylan lyrics from Pledging My Time. We are rapidly into the 70s with Carly Simon’s You re So Vain, Ron Wood’s I Can Feel The Fire, Peter Frampton’s Tried To Love, Peter Tosh’s Don t Look Back and Michael Jackson’s State Of Shock before delving into material from his first solo album She’s The Boss. Disc Two has more solo stuff from sessions with Jeff Beck that have rarely appeared on silver disc and soundtracks to some less known collaboration like Pretty Lady for Peter Wolf solo album Lights Out and songs from his second album Primitive Cool. The tracks from the Los Angeles Country Club are generally thought not to be with Jagger’s voice, taken from Through the Years Swinging Pig cd, contrary to the Sydney Rehearsals which appeared on the famous Brothers of Sodom 6 cds from Empress Valley. The version of Memory Motel that closes this disc comes from a Japanese laser disc from Dave Stewart soundtrack from Beyond the Groove film. Disc Four opens with a live guest of Jagger on a Lenny Kravitz version of No Expectations followed by a version of I’ve Been Loving You Too Long that was released in 1993 on the second cd pressing of the Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra Under The Direction of Keith Richards. After another bunch of solo songs off Wandering Spirit we also get the Shine A Light outtake from Leon Russell 24 k. gold cd issued in January 1994. This is a nice compilation, unfortunately though they decided to keep most of the official tracks leaving out more interesting stuff like the Red Devil session tracks.
