A one-off super group, which released an all-star version of The Rolling Stones' rock classic 'It's Only Rock 'N' Roll' to raise money for the Children's Promise charity foundation. It was released on December 13, 1999 in Great-Britain, where it peaked at number 19 in the UK Top 40. It was also released in several other countries, but failed to really make an impact outside the UK. It did, however, have limited success in The Netherlands, reaching number 55 during its four week chart run in January 2000, while it barely cracked the Swiss chart, only making it to number 92.
