Rarities Volume I & Volume II is a two-album series collecting songs by The Who, released in 1983 on Polydor in the UK.
The very first release in this series was a single LP titled "Join Together" issued by Polydor in Australia and New Zealand in the late 1970s. It had the same contents as the later released "Rarities Volume II" with the exception of a shorter version of "I Don't Even Know Myself". The short version of this song fades out about twenty seconds early instead of having a full ending.
In the early 1980s, after the announcement of the Who's Last Tour, Polydor UK expanded on the original concept by compiling two albums of hard to find Who tracks, mostly obscure B-sides, on Rarities Volume I and Volume II.[1] These albums were originally released on two separate LPs and then re-released on a single CD.
Some copies of the CD version were defective and were replaced by the manufacturer. Defective copies may still be in circulation.
