While The Yardbirds graduated three of the greatest guitarists in rock history (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page) during their 1963-68 existence, the group's best work came during Beck's '65-'66 tenure, which produced nearly all their hit singles and virtually everything found here. (Notable exception: their debut hit, "For Your Love," which Clapton was barely audible on anyway.) From the cat scratch fever of "I'm A Man" to the guitar-as-weapon solo in "Mister, You're A Better Man Than I," Beck rewrote the lead guitar textbook, and on one of the few songs recorded when he and Page were in the band together ("Happenings Ten Years Time Ago") they foreshadowed the sound of '70s rock.
PERSONNEL: Keith Relf (vocals, harmonica); Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Chris Dreja (guitar); Paul Samwell-Smith (bass); Jim McCarty (drums).
In just a a few short years, The Yardbirds made gigantic evolutionary leaps and laid down the groundwork for much of what would follow. This collection captures both the band's raw, blues-hound side [hear them pretty much invent British blues-rock with covers of Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning" and Billy Boy Arnold's "I Wish You Would"] and their forward-looking psych-pop side ["Shapes of Things" and "Heart Full of Soul"]. Nearly every U.K. rock band of the '60s owed a debt to the tunes collected here.
Recorded from March 1964 to February 1966.
