A new 6CD boxed set anthology celebrating the music of Rare Bird recorded between 1969 and 1975. Featuring 59 tracks on 6 cds including the albums Rare Bird, As Your Mind Flies By, Epic Forest, Somebody’s Watching and Born Again along with a previously unreleased disc recorded live at the theatre royal, drury lane in 1974 and a further 12 bonus tracks drawn from rare singles, an ep and a studio out-take. All newly remastered. Includes an illustrated book with extensive essay and interviews with Steve Gould and Mark Ashton and poster.

Rare Bird had the distinction of being the first act to be released on Tony Stratton Smith’s gloriously eclectic label Charisma records (also the home of Genesis, The Nice and Van Der Graaf Generator to name but a few) and for their excellent self-titled debut album released in late 1969 and their 1970 international hit single Sympathy. Despite selling a million copies worldwide, neither their debut album or the excellent follow up <i>As Your Mind Flies</i> (issued in 1970) enjoyed the sales of their debut single.
