Rare Bird
First time on CD for this seminal proto-prog band, originally released on Charisma back in 1969. Rare Bird was an odd duck - they used two keyboardists - Graham Field on organ and Dave Kaffinetti on electric piano - as well as Steve Gould on vocals/bass, and Mark Ashton on drums. I guess they were trying to emulate The Nice who had at that point were guitarless as well. Not as advanced as their later stuff but still quite good. As a historical footnote this was actually the first LP release on Charisma. This arrives with the standard high quality Mark Powell treatment, featuring detailed liner notes and photos as well as superb sound taken from the original analog masters. Oh - it comes with two non-lp bonus tracks as well.
