Rare Bird were an English progressive rock band, formed in 1969. They had more success in other European countries. They released five studio albums between 1969 and 1974. In the UK, they never charted with an album but charted with one single, the organ-based track "Sympathy", which peaked at number 27. It sold one million copies globally. The band's initial line-up was as below, although there would be changes by the time they came to work on their third album

Rare Bird ‎– Epic Forest. Label: Red Fox Records ‎– RF 604. Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Unofficial Release.

Epic Forest ‎(CD, Album, RE, Unofficial). People really seem divided over Rare Bird. Do they prefer the duo keyboard/no guitar format version of the band from 1969-70 that produced two albums on Charisma, or do they prefer the soft rock duo guitar/one keyboard format of the 1972-1974 version of the band that produced three albums on Polydor? Whatever the case, by 1972 the band had a drastic change in lineup and sound with only Steve Gould and David Kaffinetti from the old lineup. Steve Gould switched from bass to guitar, while acquiring an additional guitarist in Ced Curtis

Album Name Epic Forest. 2. Hey Man. 3. House in the City. 5. Turning the Lights Out. 6. Her Darkest Hour.

When they recorded their third album, Rare Bird had recently undergone some personnel changes that had a serious effect on the band's musical direction. One of the band's two keyboardists, founding member and primary songwriter Graham Field, had left, marking an end to the group's nearly unique organ-electric piano-drums-vocals lineup.
