Rarities is the name of two separate and unrelated compilation albums by the English rock band the Beatles. The first was released in the United Kingdom in December 1978, while the second set was issued in the United States in 1980. 1978 UK album{{Infobox album| name = Rarities | type = compilation | artist = the Beatles | cover = TheBeatlesRaritiesalbumcover.jpg | alt = | caption = UK cover | released = 2 December 1978 | recorded = 1962–1969, EMI Studios, London; Pathé Marconi Studios, Paris; HMV Studios, Bombay | venue = | studio = | genre = Rock | length = 43:29 | label = Parlophone | producer = George Martin | chronology = The Beatles British | prev_title = The Beatles Collection | prev_year = 1978 | next_title = The Beatles' Ballads | next_year = 1980 }}{{Album ratings | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[1] | rev2 = | rev2Score = }} Rarities is a British compilation album featuring a selection of songs by The Beatles. The album was originally released as part of The Beatles Collection, a box set featuring all other Beatles records, but was later released individually. The album has not been released on CD, but all of the tracks are available on the double CD compilation Past Masters. Rarities was conceived to include lesser-known songs that were not included on any other original Beatles album. These included B-sides of singles, two German-language recordings, the tracks from an EP with exclusive material, a song recorded for the American market and a version of "Across the Universe" that had previously appeared on a World Wildlife Fund charity record. The choice of selections seems to assume that the customer already has all the regular-issue British albums (that is, the albums included in the 1978 box set), along with the career-spanning compilations 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, and Magical Mystery Tour, but not A Collection of Beatles Oldies or Hey Jude. Such a collector would own copies of every song in the entire Beatles catalogue except for all the songs provided on Rarities. Such a collector would still be missing the original single version of "Love Me Do", however. This track, which went out of print in late 1963, was not available anywhere until its inclusion on the 1980 American Rarities. It was finally made available again in Britain in 1982 on the "Love Me Do" 12-single. The album was released on 2 November 1978 in the UK, as part of the British edition of The Beatles Collection box set. On 12 October 1979, Rarities was issued as a stand-alone album in the United Kingdom. Track listingAll songs written by Lennon–McCartney except where indicated. All songs are in mono unless indicated as stereo.
The US pressing of Rarities included in the limited edition numbered boxed set of The Beatles Collection contained "I Want to Hold Your Hand" rather than "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand," and "She Loves You" rather than "Sie Liebt Dich".

The album was inspired by an earlier compilation of the same name which was released as part of The Beatles Collection box set. Most of the tracks on the Beatles Collection disc titled Rarities were already available on American Beatles LPs. As a result, Capitol assembled an album of Beatles tracks that were considered rare in America. They include tracks not previously issued on a Capitol or Apple LP and alternative versions of several well-known songs which were also not readily available in America. A highlight of the album was the gatefold sleeve featuring a reproduction of the original controversial "butcher" cover photo of the 1966 Yesterday and Today album. Although the Capitol Rarities album was geared towards the American market, it was also issued in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Japan and New Zealand. The Rarities album has not been released on compact disc. All but three of the tracks were subsequently made available on other Beatles CDs,[4] such as the Beatles' 2009 mono and stereo box sets. After the album was released in 1980, Paul McCartney stated that it was "quite good".[5] Track listingAll songs written by Lennon–McCartney except where noted.
