This article is about the symbol. For the town, see Swastika, Ontario.
The swastika (from Sanskrit svástika स्वास्तिक ) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐 or left-facing (卍 forms. The term is derived from Sanskrit svasti, meaning well-being. The Thai greeting sawasdee is from the same root and carries the same implication.

It is a widely-used symbol in Dharmic religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism). Hindus often decorate the swastika with a dot in each quadrant. In India, it is common enough to be a part of several Devanagari fonts. It is also a symbol in the modern Unicode. It is often imprinted on religious texts, marriage invitations, decorations etc. It is used to mark religious flags in Jainism and to mark Buddhist temples in Asia.

Archaeological evidence of swastika shaped ornaments goes back to the Neolithic period. In 1920 the swastika was appropriated as a Nazi symbol, and has since then become a controversial motif. In the Western world, it is this usage as a symbol of Nazism that is most familiar, and this political association has largely eclipsed its historical status in the East.

It occurs in other Asian, European, African and Native American cultures – sometimes as a geometrical motif, sometimes as a religious symbol.

The Very Best of Mick Jagger, the first overview of his distinguished solo career, is set for release in the U.S. on October 2nd on Rhino Records. It's a vivid reminder of the compelling gifts that brought Jagger fame in the first place. As an embodiment of all that rock & roll can mean, he is virtually without peer and that is made plain on this compelling 17-track collection, which includes three previously unreleased performances.

"It was such a disparate time with lots of ups and down - fortunately mostly up - like you do generally have in life," explains Jagger. "For me, it's a great thing to listen to since all the songs speak to a certain time and make things come alive for me."

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 Very Best, 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.

Very Best also includes two dynamic collaborations on Motown songs, a favorite source of material for Jagger over the years. Reggae legend Peter Tosh, one of the founding members of the Wailers, was among the first artists signed to Rolling Stones Records in the late Seventies. For Tosh's 1978 album Bush Doctor, he and Jagger collaborated on a seductive duet on the Temptations' hit, "(You Got to Walk And) Don't Look Back," which was written by Smokey Robinson.

Then, in 1985, Jagger teamed up with David Bowie to scorch Martha and the Vandellas' classic "Dancing in the Street," which was released as a single as part of the Live Aid effort to raise funds to relieve the famine in Ethiopia. The song went to number one in England, and the video for it premiered at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia.

The sizzling "Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)," was produced by John Lennon and recorded by Jagger in 1973 in Los Angeles. The track features an all-star line-up that includes guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Jimmy Ed Davis, keyboardist Al Kooper, bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Jim Keltner and, on background vocals, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. It has never previously been released.

The album's two additional previously unreleased tracks were recorded while Jagger was working on Wandering Spirit with producer Rick Rubin. Jagger had sketched out "Charmed Life" (with his daughter Karis on backing vocals), but then decided the track didn't fit with the rest of the album. The rhythmically charged version on Very Best has been remixed by producer Ashley Beadle. "Taking the bare bones of the song and getting to the finished version with Ashley Beedle was a great creative collaboration," remarked Jagger.

Meanwhile, as they were making Wandering Spirit, Rubin suggested that Jagger spend a day recording with the Red Devils, a torrid L.A. blues band. "The difficult decision I was faced with when listening to the tracks I recorded with the Red Devils, and having to choose only one, reminded me what a great band they were,"said Jagger. One of the results of that session is the rollicking version of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Checking Up On My Baby" that appears on Very Best in its first official appearance on record.

While, for the most part, Jagger shuns self-revelation in his songs, this collection constitutes as rich a portrait of the singer as can be imagined. It shows him embracing a wide variety of musical forms - blues, reggae, rock & roll, dance music, ballads - and impressing his own inimitable mark on them. It shows him addressing matters of the body and the spirit, and celebrating all the ways that music engages us in our lives and in the lives of others. It shows Mick Jagger as a musician, singer and songwriter, in short, and that's finally who he is.

The very best of him is very good indeed.

It needs to sell over 50-60k copies in U.S and 15-20k in UK to reach the Top 10. I can't see such high numbers for a Jagger solo album.
