Rarities is a compilation album released by Capitol Records in North America, featuring a selection of songs by the Beatles. 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 the controversial "butcher" photo from the 1966 Yesterday and Today album.

All of our records are ultrasonically cleaned. Ultrasonically cleaning a record brings back the highs and lows of a record. Ultrasound technology has been shown to be highly effective at removing contaminants from the surface of vinyl records, which can significantly improve by reducing the amount of noise and distortion caused by dirt and debris, ultrasonic cleaners can help you hear your music more clearly and with greater detail. For audiophiles who value every nuance of their music, this is a major advantage.
