Original An absolutely stellar U.S. two-LP package that digs deep into the Rolling Stones' vast array of tunes, this compilation was especially critical to the US market in the days before reissues.  This is essentially the follow-up to 1971's Hot Rocks ; certainly one of the best group over-views ever assembled.  However, in an unexpected and successful maneuver, the compiler of More Hot Rocks decided to liven up what would have been simply a second-tier assortment hits and near misses by including some fantastic, hard to find early material from the group.  It's a formula that was also used to great effect on the concurrent Kink Kronikles compilation, but as this package covers an even greater time frame and contains more rarities than that highly rated Kinks collection, it's of even more value to the discerning rock 'n' roll fan.

And lets face it: even second-tier Rolling Stones hits pretty much eat the paint off of just about any other band's best work.  So while only a handful of these songs still get play on "Classic Rock" radio, it's exactly for that fact that many reach for this album even more often than Hot Rocks 1.  All of the songs here are just as great in their own way, but they haven't lost all meaning via overexposure on the radio and television.  

The set starts off strong with "Tell Me", the first great Jagger/ Richards composition and their first US Top 40 hit in 1964.  Next up is a rip roaring cover of the Buddy Holly standard "Not Fade Away", featuring some real heavy maraca shakes from Phil Spector--  The intensity of the early Stones is on full display!  With its classic opening guitar lick, "The Last Time" shows the Jagger/ Richards songwriting partnership in full flower for 1965.  Why this cut didn't make it onto the first Hot Rocks is a mystery, but it fits in just fine here.  This is followed up in no short order with a raunchy "It's All Over Now" and the slow blues original "Good Times Bad Times"-- both originally from the 12 x 5 LP-- and the classic b-side "I'm Free" which showcases the band at their early ebullient best.

Side two demonstrates the Stones' enormous artistic growth during the years 1966 and '67.  While some critics have accused the band of "falling behind" the Beatles, this all-time classic LP side shows that Mick and company to be just as creative as their peers from Liverpool during this stretch.  The opening shot of Jagger telling his lover that she's "obsolete" on the timeless "Out of Time" is perfectly counterbalanced by the lovely baroque vision that is "Lady Jane".  Similarly, the reflective "Sittin' on a Fence" (certainly one of the greatest of "deep cuts" the band ever laid down!) collides head-on into the out and out feedback frenzy of the deliriously twisted "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?".  These two sides of the Rolling Stones, the cynical and the wistful, the jaded and the optimistic, were perhaps never better balanced than on the 1967 non-LP single "Dandelion"/ "We Love You", which together closes out side two of More Hot Rocks in grand fashion.  As stated previously, side two must rank as one of the best Rolling Stones album sides ever, compilation or no.

The album's third side covers the late '67-'69 era, where the albums were finally getting released with the same running order on both sides of the pond. Their Satanic Majesties Request ("She's a Rainbow" and "2,000 Light Years from Home"), Beggars Banquet ("No Expectations") and Let It Bleed ("Let It Bleed") are all represented by the most obvious of selections not already included on the first Hot Rocks.  Sadly, the spatial limitations of the vinyl medium prevented the inclusion of such exceptional Stones chestnuts as "Citadel", "2,000 Man", "Stray Cat Blues", "Salt of the Earth" and "Live with Me". Thankfully, the non-LP b-side "Child of the Moon" is included here, for the first time on LP no less, bolstering side three's value considerably.

The last of More Hot Rocks' four sides is the real added value of the collection.  Rather than filling out the set with a smattering of tracks from Majesties, Beggar's Banquet and Let It Bleed, the compiler had the foresight to take it back to the future, unleashing a handful of early, impossible to find (at the time) blues and r&b numbers from the band's embryonic period, book-ended by two bona-fide unheard (in the US) Jagger/ Richards numbers: "What to Do" from the British version of Aftermath and the UK b-side to "Paint It Black", "Long Long While"-- both great.  In between, the listener is treated to some raucous early Stones r&b  "Money", "Poison Ivy" and "Fortune Teller" (the latter two of which comprised an unreleased 1963 Decca single for the band), a couple of Chuck Berry covers in "Come On" and "Bye Bye Johnnie" and, perhaps best of all, a relaxed take of Muddy Waters' "I Can't Be Satisfied" featuring some exceptional slide guitar from Brian Jones.
