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)".
