Editorial Review:
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
More Hot Rocks (Big Hits and Fazed Cookies) Reviews:
Greatest Hits Stones CD. reissued. 
2009-11-13 - The songs that didn't make it to Hot Rocks, ended up here, on More Hot Rocks. Two CD's, containing some of the more obscure Stones Hits, from that time period.
More is better 
2009-10-12 - If you are like me and didn't buy "Hot Rocks" because it had songs you already had on previous Stones albums, then "More Hot Rocks" was much more appealing. For one thing, this was the first time we got "Fortune Teller" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" minus the tacked-on audience screams that were found on the "Got Live If You Want It" album. Also this was the first issue of the great stereo mixes of "Child Of The Moon" (one of The Rolling Stones' great unsung B-sides) and "We Love You" (a quirky track but probably their weakest A-side since their debut single "Come On", also included here) . These alone make the album worth having, though, but the whole collection stands up. Familiar tunes like the underrated "Tell Me" and "She's A Rainbow" (it would have been nice to have the single edits of these two, but you can't have everything) as well as unreleased in America tracks like "What To Do" and "Money". This album was geared more toward The Stones' collector than "Hot Rocks", which was basically for the more casual fan who wanted the big hits and that's it. "More Hot Rocks", containing a number of previously unreleased- on-LP tracks, was more satisfying back in 1972 and still is today.
ESSENTIAL 'B' SIDES & CLASSICS
2008-06-10 - This is a fine collection of Rolling Stones songs. 'We Love You' & 'Child Of The Moon' are rarely heard jems. These two alone are worth the price of the CD. ENJOY!
Fills in the Blanks from "Hot Rocks"
2007-01-08 - The Rolling Stones' "Hot Rocks" is one of the all time great pop music/rock n' roll greatest hits collections. "More Hot Rocks (Big Hits and Fazed Cookies)" does not have the same musical firepower, but it "fills in the blanks" of "Hot Rocks." It provides a richer view of the music of the Rolling Stones from the beginning to 1971.
First off, the music from the Stones' psychedelic plunge is present here and not on "Hot Rocks." The CD includes the bon bon "We Love You," put out by the group after the famous arrests and jailings. Beginning with slammed jail doors, the music captures this era nicely. So, too, cuts off of "Their Satanic Majesties Request," "She's a Rainbow," "2000 Light Years from Home," and "Child of the Moon." This is not one of their best albums, but this does represent an interesting experiment, and the music is not bad for all that.
Second, we hear gems from the early years of the group. Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" is covered nicely; two grand oldies that might have been good enough for "Hot Rocks" are "The Last Time" and "I'm Free" and "Out of Time." It is also nice to see some bluesy songs included, such as "Good Times Bad Times." Some old-fashioned rockers: "Poison Ivy" and "Bye Bye Johnnie" and "Come On."
All in all, a great complement to "Hot Rocks." It provides a much more complete picture of the Rolling Stones' musical corpus from this time period.
The Stones Collectors Set 
2002-09-25 - 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 #.
