Imagine what would constitute a set of Rolling Stones gems from the vaults (the title theme to C -- -sucker Blues, say). Okay, keep imagining. Nearly half of Rarities: 1971-2003 consists of readily available tracks, such as live remakes from recent concert discs; the rest B sides and remixes of forgettable later hits like ''Mixed Emotions'' are trivialities. A strutting 1971 take on Chuck Berry's ''Let It Rock,'' which truly is rare and worth unearthing, hints at what this mistitled hodgepodge could've been but isn't.
