''More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)'' is the second compilation album of Rolling Stones music released by former manager Allen Klein's ABKCO Records (who usurped control of the band's Decca/London material in 1970) after the band's departure from Decca and Klein. Released in late 1972 as the follow-up to the hugely successful ''Hot Rocks 1964–1971'', it was another success for Klein and ABKCO. When ''Hot Rocks 1964–1971'' proved to be a big seller, there was never any doubt that a successor would follow. However, initially—with Andrew Loog Oldham getting involved—the project was to feature previously unreleased (or more accurately, discarded) material and be titled ''Necrophilia''. Artwork was prepared and the album made it as far as the mastering phase when it was recalled and something a little more practical was compiled (ABKCO would revisit this concept with 1975's ''Metamorphosis''). The result was ''More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)''. ==Release and reception== Featuring the hits that could not be shoehorned onto its predecessor, as well as first-time release of many previously UK-only releases, the double album was quickly pressed and distributed into North American shops in December 1972, reaching No. 9 in the US and going gold. Like ''Hot Rocks 1964–1971'', ''More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)'' would not see an official UK release until 21 May 1990. Allmusic's Richie Unterberger writes in his review "''More Hot Rocks'' goes for the somewhat smaller hits, some of the better album tracks, and a whole LP side's worth of rarities that hadn't yet been available in the United States when this compilation was released in 1972." "Despite the unfathomable choices, random LP tracks, peculiar chronology ('64 through to '69, then back to '63/'64 again) and the feeling that the real stormers are elsewhere (on 'Vol 1', that is), it's an irresistible listen," wrote ''Selects Andrew Perry of the 1990 CD release, concluding, "A weird arrangement of quality goods."〔''Select'', November 1990〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
