It's odd. I no longer own Hot Rocks. If I did, I would not play it. Yet reading your post, I am reminded that when I did buy it more than 40 years ago I thought it was the most amazing collection of music ever. I still won't play it. But it is still true - It is the most amazing of music ever.

I'm assuming the tour announcement is what caused the uptick in sales? Georgelicks, what is your guesstimate as to how many Hot Rocks has sold now in the US? I believe it's certified at 12 million sold (6 mil x 2 as double album)?

It was last certified in October 2002 at 12x Platinum, including streaming points it should be at 17-18x Platinum by now at least.

I remember the summer of '72, in a record store was a waist high stack of Exile albums on sale, next to a stack of Hot Rocks. Both double albums. I don't have a copy of Hot Rocks either. It's not important, I have all the hits on various SACDs that ABKCO released in 2002, plus 40 Licks. I spend more time listening to the followup More Hot Rocks (Big Hits and Fazed Cookies). Was that a U.S. only release? I know it had some cuts on it that were never released in the U.S. at that time.
But Hot Rocks was a great way for me to catch up on their earlier hits. The tour, the radio airplay of 'old' Stones songs as I drove across country that summer. 1972, at least in the States, has to be the peak for the band.

Unsure about other territories outside of the U.S., but neither album saw a U.K. release until 1990.

Yes indeed. I quite understand and feel very similarly. Where I live the greatest hits album of choice was High Tide & Green Grass. The UK version of it. Like you with hot rocks I loved the album on its release. But it has little attraction now

It was released in Canada back in 72

Surprised ABKCO hasn't released another double album called Even More Hot Rocks or even Warm Rocks.

In my opinion, this re-wamp could depend on the RSD re-issue, on 17 July.
True that they are not too many copies, but could be enough to move the charts and let some buy the 2CD edition, too.
That said, I always preferred 'Rolled Gold' to 'Hot Rocks': no Brown Sugar, no Wild Horses but still the best ever compilation for the DECCA/London years.

I remember those alsoQuote

More Hot Rocks asks above, "What about me"? Well, here you, go, Quicksilver has your answer. Some of my fave groove/drivin' songs.

When they reissued Rolled Gold on cd in 2007 as Rolled Gold + They added all of the tracks from Hot Rocks which were not already on Rolled Gold and some from More Hot Rocks as well. This is now the best compilation from the Abkco Years.
Here is a list of tracks added to Rolled Gold +
"Tell Me"
"Heart of Stone"
"Play with Fire"
"I'm Free"
"Mother's Little Helper"
"Dandelion"
"2000 Light Years from Home"
"No Expectations"
"Let It Bleed"
"You Can't Always Get What You Want"
"Brown Sugar"
"Wild Horses"
Rolled Gold also contains some tracks not included on Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks such as Little Red Roster and I Wanna Be Your Man along with Carol and Yesterday's Papers.

Yes some of them are on Rolled Gold Vol. 2 However, I don't think Vol.2 was ever released on cd and does not contain Brown Sugar and Wild Horses.
