"Electric Bird" is a cult album by British composer, arranger, and pianist Simon Park, recorded for one of the oldest and most respected sound libraries in the world, De Wolfe Music, and released in 1974 (catalog number DWLP 3291).

This record is a benchmark for so-called "library music" from the golden era of the 1970s and is highly prized among vinyl collectors, DJs, and music producers with an eye for rare grooves.

Like most De Wolfe releases of the era, the record was not originally intended for general retail distribution, but was distributed exclusively to television and radio broadcasters. Today, the original vinyl pressing of "Electric Bird" is a rare and expensive artifact, representing the pinnacle of British library funk.
