| Rarities Listing | ||
| This list began as a list of my personal mp3 rarities, but I've since included songs that I don't have, although it is still incomplete. I'll not be adding live tracks unless they are genuine rarities like Imagine or Hangman which aren't available via a regular studio album. | ||
