Rarities is a compilation album of rare and unreleased material by the British rock band Atomic Rooster.

Whilst being a very good compilation for fans of the band, it includes several unlicensed tracks whose copyright is owned variously by Elektra, EMI, Sanctuary (who purchased the B&C and Dawn catalogues) and Polydor Records. While it is 'endorsed' by former band member John Du Cann, he does not actually own the rights to the 'Atomic Rooster' name; this resides with the estate of late founder member Vincent Crane. Also, although not credited, drummer Preston Heyman appears on the demo versions of the songs that appeared on the 1980 self-titled album.
