1 out of 5 stars Buying it for nostalgic reasons, you may be disappointed.......2007-03-21

Don't get me wrong I love the Stones, but "More Hot Rocks, Big Hits & Fazed Cookies" shouldn't have been released in 2002. Why? Most of this material could have been bonus material on the appropriate albums, but I understand show biz greed. Also, fans may have fond memories of this album, such as my brother, who I bought this for. One big problem he had was the opening track, "Tell Me," which was longer than the LP version back in the 70's. I can't believe no reviewers have noticed this, and that was one of the key reasons he wanted this collection; and it's not there! I call that tampering with history wouldn't you? Another problem he had, was the bonus material [disc 2] screws up the running order he so fondly remembered.

If you're buying this for nostalgic reasons you may be disappointed. If you are new to this collection it might be just fine.

5 out of 5 stars Rolling stones at their awesomest.......2005-12-20

i got this 2 Lp set used at a local record store, underground sounds and i listen to it all the time, this is some of the best rock and roll there is, a relic of a lost time, theres some rolling stone stuff that i dont like but this is awesome, at times beautifel music. i recommend this to everyone. :0)

3 out of 5 stars Worth the money?.......2005-10-22

Well that depends... if you want a "Best of" collection there are many better Rolling Stones CD's out there, if you want to find out what they were doing in their "early years" than their first two albums are definitely the place to start, and if you want the "B" sides to their early singles plus the tracks off their first UK EP's (several which are included here) then their "Singles 1963-1965" boxed set has them all.

So why bother with this very odd compilation? Well there's only one, ridiculously expensive reason - "I Can't Be Satisfied" - a magnificent cover of a Muddy Waters track that's up there with the very best of anything the Stones or anyone else has released and which, along with "Little Red Rooster", was pivotal in establishing their reputation as a "serious" blues band. Featuring some stunning slide guitar from Brian Jones, wonderfully understated backing from Keith Richards and some beautifully laid-back drumming from Charlie Watts, it's an absolutely unmissable cut that was, quite unbelievably, "lost" in the track-shifting between their first two UK & US albums... and, equally unbelievably, is, at present, only available here.

It's a huge amount to pay for one track but then maybe you can help justify the cost on the basis that several of the other tracks on this double CD, most of which are excellent, fill some glaring gaps in your Stones collection.

3 out of 5 stars Mixed and schizo bag.......2004-12-12

What a disorganized collection. At first you can follow the Stones' progression in time, then you get a dash of cold water in the form of mostly half-baked covers. I guess no two people will agree on their favorites here, but here goes my opinion anyway.

"Tell Me" ranks as rank: sloppy, unoriginal and close to unlistenable. "Not Fade Away" doesn't add anything to the Buddy Holly version. Suddenly, we get the Jagger-Richards original "The Last Time," which may have been the first song they wrote together (others claim that was "As Tears Go By"). This is remarkable as an early effort, and as a contrast to the first two songs here. The energy jumps upwards again in "It's All Over Now." How about that marathon solo? You can feel the band having a whale of a session.

Then we get two more sluggish, disposable tunes in "Good Times" and "I'm Free" before entering the red-hot zone of eight varied and beautiful tracks -- minus "We Love You," which is worth a couple novelty listens, but can't compare with its company here. Why was this the single, and "Dandelion" the flipside? "Dandelion" is one of my all-time favorite Stones tunes, just in terms of sound, and because it's fun to play on guitar. Of course it's not typical Stones, and they haven't produced anything like it since '67, but I think it's unjustly overlooked.

"Lady Jane," "Out of Time" and "What to Do" (stuck on Disc Two here, who knows why?) can all be found on the album "Aftermath," which is worth having on its own. I do appreciate "Sittin' on a Fence" here, saving the trouble of locating the pastiche "Flowers" album for a romping acoustic ballad. It's another blast to play yourself. "Have You Seen Your Mother" is as gloriously wasted as rock gets, though I wonder what Keith meant when he said the wrong mix was released. What are we missing?

The streak of greatness sputters a little with "Child of the Moon." Since it's hard to find elsewhere, maybe it would be best on a "Metamorphosis"-type collection of oddities. We get another couple of album tracks, then a descent into early, primitive blues stylings, which you either love, hate, or confront with indifference. "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" is a bonus track for the CD, and it's interminable. But then you get gems like "Bye Bye Johnny" and "I Can't Be Satisfied," so the feeling emerges again of total anarchy in quality. Sadly, the final track is a letdown: "Long Long While." If the Stones had always sounded this dreary, they'd never have made it out of seedy clubs.

As with Hot Rocks 1, I think the music would have fit onto one CD alone -- maybe by eliminating the more regrettable tracks here. Because of the sheer brilliance of the best songs here, I think it's worth between 2 and 3 stars. Three, just because some listeners will find the rarer songs attractive.

4 out of 5 stars More Of A "Best - Off" Than A Greatest Hits Set.......2004-07-08

This sequel to "Hot Rocks" ranks as one of the better Stones hits compilations. However, while the first one contained big hits, this 2 - disc set contains many lesser heard songs. Of the 28 song here, only two made the top 10 ("The Last Time" and "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow" both peaked at number 9). But does that make this cd any less enjoyable? No. In fact, it actually makes it better since there are so many hardcore fans (such as myself) wanting a cd filled with rarities.

Disc 1 starts off around the same period as the first disc on the first volume of "Hot Rocks". Songs like "Tell Me", "Dandelion", "It's All Over Now" and "Lady Jane" rank among the best Stones recordings of all time, certainly as good as "Satisfaction" or "Brown Sugar". Others like "Good Times, Bad Times" and "Out Of Time" (the "Metamorphisis" version is better) are dated, but the Dylan - esque "Sittin' On A Fence" is one their bst studio efforts. On the downside, the remastering on "We Love You" is a bit muddy. Still, great cd.

Disc 2's first 5 songs continue where the disc 1 left off. "She's A Rainbow" is bright abd bouncy, and contains the rare intro taking place at a fish market. Then comes the eerie masterpiece "2000 Light Years From Home", one of Brian Jones' finest works. "Child Of The Moon" a great rocker and a rare b -side (it was used to back "Jumpin' Jack Flash"). "No Expectations" is another one of Brian Jones' finest momenst and significant for his use of the bottleneck guitar. After the jaunty title track from 1969's "Let It Bleed", we immediately go back in time to 1962. "What To Do" is a nice romp. It's nice to hear "Fortune Teller" without the live overdubs on "Got Live If You Want It", while "Posion Ivy" is a delightful cover of the Coasters hit. "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" is nice but othing to rave about. "Come On" a cover of a Chuck Berry song and their first single ever (released in Britain only) is one of the best songs in their catalogue. "Money", "Bye Bye Johnnie", the second version of "Poison Ivy" (much more harder than the first one) and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" (minus live overdubs) are great covers. Bringing thsi et to a close is a marvelou cover of Muddy Waters' "I Can't Be Satisfied" (complete with excellent slide guitar, courttesy of Brian Jones), and "Long Long While", a great soul ballad in vein of Otis Redding.
