Rarities from the Capitol Vaults


Rarities from the Capitol Vaults is a compilation album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 2009 by EMI Music Special Markets and boasts 10 previously unreleased songs as well as two lesser-known recordings.

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic writes, "The biggest surprise here is that a fair number of the unreleased songs tend to have a prominent backbeat -- usually some sort of play on disco, but 'Tell Jack' is a pretty terrific slice of Elton John-styled glam rock."
