There are releases that will only appeal to fans, and there are releases for strict diehards. Wounded Bird's Rare, Rarer, & Rarest is intended for the latter.
It contains 15 tracks of instrumental interludes and outtakes from The Owl and the Pussycat film score. This soundtrack was a departure for the group as they tried their hand, and succeeded for the most part, at playing introverted, steamy jazz numbers or all-purpose, funky jazz-rock. With many songs repeated, or only lasting 20-45 seconds, there isn't much opportunity for a cohesive listen. However, since most of these songs didn't make it onto the actual soundtrack -- which favored audio clips of Barbra Streisand's dialog from the movie -- this is the best place to find the band performing this specific Taxi Driver/Blaxploitation style of jazz-rock instrumental music. Only one of the tracks from The Owl and the Pussycat is with vocals, “Just Want to Mention (You've Been Alone Too Long)”. 
"Blues-Part II" ends up in Eric Satie's  "Gymnopedie no. 1."
Also included are mono versions of their singles. And two rare tracks of interest. “Kråkbergravningen (The Crow's Funreal)” was the B-side of “So long Dixie” in Europe.
“M” an unreleased song that didn’t make it on their 4th album. But it can be found on American Flyers first album.
