It was in The Yardbirds that he began to become not just appreciated, but to be “worshiped” for his guitar work. Clapton was initially pleased with The Yardbirds as their repertoire was almost entirely blues based. In 1965 The Yardbirds had their first hit with “For Your Love“, which Clapton played on. However he was most upset at this change of direction into the more ‘pop’ side of music.

In February 1964, Gomelsky booked The Yardbirds into RG Jones recording studio in Morden, south London — the same cheap, but nevertheless utterly reliable, set-up that virtually every young band of the day turned to in their hour of fulfilment. With them went Mike Vernon, stepping away from both the microphone and the typewriter to take his first steps towards fulfilling another of his ambitions, to become a record producer. The session succeeded on both counts. Three songs long (Sonny Boy Williamson II’s “Baby What’s Wrong,” John Lee Hooker’s “Boom” and Relf’s own “Honey In Your Hips”), the ensuing demo was more than sufficient to land The Yardbirds a deal with Columbia at exactly the same time as Vernon’s own enthusiasm and knowledge brought him a job at Decca as an in-house producer at their West Hampstead studios. Naturally, the move shifted Vernon out of The Yardbirds’ own orbit; instead, Gomelsky shouldered the production duties himself, and by early summer, Columbia was gearing up to issue The Yardbirds’ debut single, “A Certain Girl.” The only problem was, the record didn’t actually sound anything like The Yardbirds. Live, the band was raw, rough and ready; in the studio, they were clean, bright and sparkling. No matter that all but the last 10 minutes of the recording session were spent twitching “A Certain Girl” to perfection. When it came to actually releasing the record, even Columbia agreed that it was the B-side, the product of those final 10 minutes, which came the closest to capturing The Yardbirds they’d signed. A wiry cover of Billy Boy Arnold’s “I Wish You Would” was released in June 1964, and though it never threatened to storm the chart, it at least landed the group some national attention — an appearance on television’s newly-born “Ready Steady Go” included. Released in October 1964, Sonny Boy Williamson (the first!)’s “Good Morning Little Schoolgirl” was a Clapton favorite — onstage, he even sang it — but again it was too clean, again it sounded too polished. And when it, too, fell short of success, it was clear that The Yardbirds had only one alternative. Their next recording session, aimed this time at an album, pulled them back to the one arena where they could never fail. Every Friday night, The Yardbirds took over the Marquee Club in London for a wild celebration of the Rave Up. When Eric Clapton finally quit The Yardbirds in March 1965, Mayall was on the scent immediately.
