Rarities (typeset as [Rarities] on the artwork) is the fourth album, and first compilation, by the Minneapolis punk rock band The Soviettes. It is a selection of the group's lesser-known material, including their early EPs. It was released free on the internet and also in vinyl LP format.[1]
A.V. Club reviewer Jack Spencer called the album "an excellent last hurrah," describing it as "quick bursts of spirited, guitar-driven rock, punctuated by 'woos'" and 'heys'." [2]
