The collection includes singles, album tracks, and collaborations with John Lennon, David Bowie, Bono, Lenny Kravitz, Peter Tosh, Ry Cooder, David A. Stewart and Jeff Beck among others. It include three previously-unreleased songs:
* Too Many Cooks (Spoil The Soup) , produced by John Lennon and recorded by Jagger in 1973 in Los Angeles. The track features guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Jesse Ed Davis, keyboardist Al Kooper, bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Jim Keltner and, on backing vocals, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. Bill Wyman was present at the session but did not play on the track.
* Checkin' Up On My Baby (with The Red Devils), recorded in 1992 with L.A. blues band, The Red Devils.
* Charmed Life, recorded while Jagger was working on Wandering Spirit with producer Rick Rubin. Jagger had sketched it out (with his daughter Karis Jagger on backing vocals), but then decided the track didn't fit with the rest of the album. The version on Very Best is remixed by producer Ashley Beadle. The song was also released as a promo single with various remixes, and reached the Top 20 on Billboard's Hot Dance Singles chart in early 2008.
A special edition with DVD was also released with more than 72 minutes of content, includes an extensive interview with Mick Jagger from early/mid 2007, nine videos and more stuff.
Jagger has promoted the album through interviews including a special for Rolling Stone, a comprehensive Q&A with fans on the BBC web site and TV appearances. He also re-launched his web site with audio, video, photos and more information about this compilation and his solo work in general.
The album debuted in the UK chart at #57 with sales of nearly 4,000 copies and in the U.S chart at #77 selling 11,846 copies during the first week. It has sold 45,000 copies in the U.S since its release.
