Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The Stones having left London Records in 1970 to form their own label, the old company graciously . . . kept exploiting the old catalog to the nth degree. More Hot Rocks, which followed the double greatest-hits set that became one of the band's most consistent sellers, is actually a brilliantly selected and sequenced game of catch-up. The first three-quarters recapitulate hits and album tracks ("The Last Time," "No Expectations") and a couple of up-'til-then non-LP sides ("We Love You," "Child of the Moon"). The final eight cuts gather material never before issued in the States, including the group's first single (Chuck Berry's "Come On"), the British Aftermath keynote "What to Do" and a tough, apropos take on "Money." --Rickey Wright

Product Description

It's a testament to this band's brilliance that the second double-album of hits and highlights is almost as good as the first! This remastered version adds three tracks to the original's 25, too; includes Not Fade Away; Lady Jane; Dandelion; She's a Rainbow; 2000 Light Years from Home; Let It Bleed; Come On; No Expectations; It's All Over Now; Out of Time; Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?; Poison Ivy , and more.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Stones Collectors Set, September 24, 2002

By

This review is from: More Hot Rocks (Audio CD)

This is very much a Stones collectors album. Although it has few big hits, it completes the bulk of their well known early catalog for collectors. None of the songs on More Hot Rocks appear on the first Hot Rocks 1964-1971 album. In Addition, there are no songs on the first set of compilation albums [Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) and Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)] that are not included on the second set of compilation albums (Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks).

This is the version of More Hot Rocks (Big Hits And Fazed Cookies) that was originally released in the U.S. on Dec 1, 1972 but was withheld from the UK until 1990 due to a lawsuit. The early Stones London Records catalog (which was their old American record company) issued both Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks during 1972 while at the same time the British company (Decca) released a series of compilation albums in the UK (Gimme Shelter, Milestones, Rock `n' Rolling Stones, and No Stone Unturned). None of the UK albums were released on CD. The Stones former manager Allen Klein's company ABCKO acquired the Stones' catalog after Klein became their manager in 1965. The resulting legal battles produced releases that the Stones opposed (they took out full page adds asking fans not to buy them), including the controversial Metamorphosis releases (which are now available on CD for the 1st time ever). But the sad fact is that the Stones lost control of their great early material.

The album includes 6 songs that had not appeared on an American album before (Come On, Bye Bye Johnny, I Can't Be Satisfied, Long Long While, Money, What To Do, and Poision Ivy. In addition a remix of Child Of The Moon (the B side of Jumpin' Jack Flash) was released for the first time on any album.

This US version collects the well known songs from their singles, albums, and the songs not previously released in the US or only as single B sides from 1964-1967. The songs are not on the album in the order they were released in the U.S. Those that were only released as album cuts are noted. Those that had not previously been released are marked with #.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Stones album, June 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: More Hot Rocks (Audio CD)

I see that More Hot Rocks is getting knocked for not having enough radio hits on it. Well, I could go the rest of my life without hearing "Brown Sugar," "Satisfaction," or "Honky Tonk Women" ever again. If for some reason you are not sick of those songs yet, they are played on the radio every five minutes somewhere on your dial - you don't need to own them! You do, however, need More Hot Rocks. Whoever compiled this should get a knighthood. It is a wonderful mishmash of blues ("Good Times Bad Times"), psychedelia ("Dandelion," "2000 Light Years From Home"), tasty covers ("Not Fade Away," "Poison Ivy," "Fortune Teller") and what is, in my humble opinion, the all-time greatest Stones song, "The Last Time." AND it has "Sittin' On A Fence" - I mean, what's not to like here? This is the REAL real folk blues, a must for any Stones fan and a perfect introduction to their early period, which they never topped. Buy it now.

4.0 out of 5 stars The companion album to "Hot Rocks", February 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: More Hot Rocks (Audio CD)

Here's the collection of hits recorded on the London label they couldn't fit on the first Hot Rocks album. Rolling Stones fans too young to remember when they were part of the British Invasion of the sixties will find it very convenient to get only the best of the Stones music on this CD and its predecessor, "Hot Rocks". However, as far as content of the Stones' greatest hits, there is a great imbalance toward the first "Hot Rocks" album. As the title implies, this is a collection of "big hits and fazed cookies"; it has big selling singles like "The Last Time", "It's All Over Now", and "2000 Light Years From Home", plus little heard or remembered music from the pre-invasion days of the early sixties. If you already have "Hot Rocks", you don't have all the best of the Stones' hits from the London label until you get this CD.
