Chronicles is the first compilation album by Steve Winwood as a solo artist.

The album contains some of his major hits up to this point and new remixes produced by Tom Lord-Alge, who had helped commercialize Winwood's sound on his previous album, Back in the High Life.

One track, "Valerie", was originally released as a single for Winwood's 1982 album, Talking Back to the Night.

Despite the original single being a commercial flop, the remix of the song included in this album peaked at No.

All songs written by Steve Winwood and Will Jennings, unless otherwise noted[6]
