The Beatles "Rarities"

October 12, 1979   Parlophone Records

"Rarities" contains 17 songs not available on regular-release British LPs. EMI wished to keep the same sound as on the EPs and singles these songs were released on, so tracks originally released in mono were rereleased in mono. "Rarities" was scheduled for release in the US, but was canceled in the middle of the first pressing and all copies were ordered to be destroyed (all though a few made their way in to the collector's market and are very valuable). Features linear notes by Hugh Fielder, a writer for the British music magazine "Sounds". One head-scratching omission is "Hey Jude".
