rare tracks

Unreleased musical recordings

Rare tracks are recordings by a musical artist that aren't widely available—B-sides, demos, live versions, or songs that never made it onto official albums.

Collectors and dedicated fans seek them out: I found some rare tracks from her early sessions.

The term implies scarcity and insider knowledge, suggesting material only true fans would know about.
