"Live & Rare" is a compilation of live and rare performances written and performed by Rage Against the Machine, released only in Japan in 1996. It can be found in America made for certain companies such as Industry music. But it was mostly found in Japan due to the Japanese peoples interest in RATM. It is an album made up of "official bootlegs" previously available on other singles (such as the cover of N.W.A's "Fuck tha Police", previously found on the "red", limited version of the Guerrilla Radio single).
