Compilation first appearing as part of the 1978 "The Beatles Collection" box, but from 1979 reissued as an unattached LP in a large number of countries. At release cherished by European fans as the most important Beatles collection since it offered cuts either unissued on the continent and/or in Britain, or ones that up to then only had been available on 45 there. Today almost forty years and about a thousand Beatles compilations later it hardly deserves the name "Rarities" anymore, but in my world still stands as one of their better collections. I get seventeen original recordings, 100 % historically correct - nothing lost, nothing gained, no added reverb or second hand re-mixes - with tophole audio. And even if most of them by some are considered as something from the band's backyard, there are so many gems and so much good music it exceeds almost any other acts "Greatest Hits". I got a bunch of favorites here - "I Call Your Name", "I'm Down", "The Inner Light", "Bad Boy", "Long Tall Sally"...and more. "You Know My Name..." may not be the best Beatles song ever, but it's here for the first time on legit LP and that means something...at least to me. This Swedish version uses the UK tapes and the audio is excellent, sounding like something from a sixties time capsule. First Swedish had label as shown here and thin glossy cover.
