Rarities/B-Sides is the first compilation album by The Raveonettes, and it was released on 15 December 2011 on 500 CD and 500 double 180 gram LP.[3]
This limited edition collection compiles b-side and rare material spanning Whip It On, Chain Gang of Love, Pretty in Black and Lust Lust Lust.[3] Covers released as b-sides or bonus tracks are not included; specifically Eddie Cochran's C'mon Everybody, Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, and Buddy Holly's Everyday.
Rarities/B-Sides marks the first time the 2003 single The Christmas Song has been available on an album, as the song was absent from the 2008 Christmas EP Wishing You a Rave Christmas. Despite that the song has never been included on an album, Sune Rose Wagner stated "it has since become our biggest selling song ever with appearances in countless movies, commercials, etc."[4]
The album art contains various photographs and a poster by contemporary artist and photographer Todd Hido.[5] Hido previously worked with The Raveonettes when he directed the video for the Raven in the Grave single Apparitions.[6]
