Rare Tracks is an album by the four-piece Australian rock group Jet. At first released exclusively in Japan, the work is a compilation album that features various songs by the band otherwise not included on major studio albums. It additionally includes music videos made the group. Since it came out in 2004, the album has received various imports into different nations such as the U.S. as well as online-related distribution, such as through Amazon.com to American listeners.

The rock n roll song "That's Alright Mama" was originally recorded by American artist Elvis Presley, partly inspired by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's 1946 blues track "That's All Right". Elvis released the single, his very first commercially recorded tune, in 1954. It later appeared in its first album form on Elvis' work The Sun Sessions, which also came out that same year.

"Back Door Santa", written by Clarence Carter and Marcus Daniel, was originally performed by Carter. A sexually suggestive r&b song in the 12-bar blues format, it first received wide release after its inclusion on the multi-artist compilation album Soul Christmas, which came out in November 1968.
