Somebody's Watching

Where I come from this band is practically unheard of. A friend of mine had a copy of "EpicForest" (another cd by this band I would recommend tho I think this is the better of the two) and I was impressed. Later I was shocked to find "Somebody's Watching " in a bargin bin of a local retail store. I snapped it up immediately and was not disappointed by what I heard.

great classic if you liked rare bird, there first two albums always sounded ( to me ) like deep purple or uriah heep without guitars, here there is a little guitar in place but sounding nothing like purple or heep, rare bird developed there own sound by this time, if you liked rare birds previous work then you should love this album, with rare bird you kind of know what you are getting with each record each one is unique to there sound but great if you are a fan............... i think its safe to say you will really like this.

I was glad when I found this & their other album Epic Forest on Amazon. Long burdened with wear from my trusted turntable, no matter how much I cared for them. Replaced this & Epic Forest which I think display some of their great work. Whether it be a rock ballad or a higher energy tune I was glad to have them back. if you were aware of the band, replace the lps with discs which brings out the drumming & fine bass lines. I know they had others, yet this & Epic Forest were the only two I owned from this fine band> Amazon had them, they won't be there forever.

Last month I purchased Epic Forrest. Great! I just received Somebody' Watching. Like Epic I hadn't heard it years. I still feel the same about it. By that I mean I like it but not as much as Epic.Don't get me wrong, it is still a good recording.The title track stands out as a true winner. I've always loved "Dollars and "A Few Dollars More". Very good. It is still worth buying.

Good quality, as described. Glad I found this 'rare' offering. The album took me back briefly, turned my head around.

Picking up after Field left. Great prog with a spiritual note. Leave it on the spinner for several listensA rockier feel. Still Rare Bird.Wish they'd reunite.

This album really does stand the test of time. It was difficult to find in CD format for a while and was really stoked to find this classic on Amazon. Highly recommended.

I brought this album when it was first release in 1970`s and I'm happy its on cd so I can continue to listen to this good music from talented musicians.

Rare bird? Who the hell are they questioned my mate as we where making our way north from the Midlands to a Barclay James Harvest gig. Rare bird where the support I had been lucky enough to see them the year before. You my friend are in for a treat I said or something similar but probably a bit fruitier anyway the gig was a blast my mate went out and bought all their vinyl only three albums at the time. Anyway I digress from the subject this is their fourth album of the five they made and like my mate you will want all there stuff after hearing this album when you hear track 8 a few dollars more you will be blown away it is different to sympathy off their first album but just as brilliant.i am off now to play it again so tatty bye.

We had this on vinyl from years ago, and I love the Dollars track, so was delighted to get it on CD as the LP has long since bit the dust.

Rare Bird waren gesanglich, musikalisch, sowie instrumental herausragend, mit facettenreicher Rockmusik wie in sämtlichen veröffentlichen Alben zu erkennen war.Leider fehlt solche Genialität in der heutigen Musikszene!

Weder "Somebody`s Watching" noch "Epic Forest" würde ich persönlichals Prog einsortieren. Eher schon als Rock,und zwar der besserenzeitgenössischen Sorte ohne billige Hallass- und Schweinerockelemente.Das Remastering ist gelungen und die Scheibe kommt konturierter unddruckvoller als das Originalvinyl. Einzig die Becken kommen mir etwasunterbelichtet vor.
