The Yardbirds- THE YARDBIRDS STORY By GIORGIO GOMELSKY- 4CD Box Set- 2002/24.04.2007-
- Licensemusic.com ApS/Artisty Music Limited/Snapper Music Plc.- 803415573622- 1700 grn
2007 UK 89-track digitally remastered 4-CD set containing every released recording they made under the legendary Giorgio Gomelsky's mentorship, including their four top ten hits 'Shapes Of Things', 'For Your Love', 'Still I'm Sad' & 'Heart Full Of Soul' alongside rarities & alternate takes plus recording session outtakes from 1966, giving a fascinating insight into the group's creative process in the studio. Housed in a deluxe clamshell picture box complete with a lavishly illustrated picture book containing extensive notes by Gomelsky and more. This is a very cheap and easy way to pick up all the Yardbirds recorded work from 1963 when they first started to record, to 1967 when they sacked their manager, taking in all the Eric Clapton material and a good majority of Jeff Beck's. Contained in a solid cardboard CD sized case accompanied by a hefty 48 page book with track by track comments by Giorgio Gomelsky (their manager) and Phil Cohen (their engineer). The comments are detailed and provide a good insight into the Yardbirds recording process as well as a pottered history of the band. At times, Gomelsky's comments read as an apology for his actions whilst manager and there does appear as if personal acrimony at the time has been airbrushed out, but its refreshing to see an account that's not about settling scores and instead celebrating the music.
COMPILATION INCLUDES
[The CD's come packaged in cardboard wallets and divide the history of the band into four main parts]:
CD1- 1963 R&B Roots;
CD2- 1964 Early Studio & At The Marquee;
CD3- 1965/66 Big Hits & America Calling;
CD4- 1966/67 An Eye View Of Beat.
The FIRST CD kicks off with an excellent selection of tracks that provide an eye opening account of what the band sounded like live. Covering songs by artitst such as Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf and Chuck Berry, the Yardbirds (and Eric 'Slowhand' Clapton) are in imperious form, demonstrating that they were already a formidable unit. Then comes the tracks recorded with Sonny Boy Williamson II which were released in 1967 as the album 'Sonny Boy Williamson with the Yardbirds'.
The SECOND CD hoovers up their early demos, a couple of live recordings again with Sonny Boy Williamson and their first two singles (A & B sides). Inbetween you get one of the greatest live albums ever 'Five Live Yardbirds', released in 1964. This album was quite a gamble for the band as most other bands focussed on the 45 format, only using the album to compile their singles.
The THIRD CD picks up the Yardbird's story as Eric Clapton leaves (unhappy with the 'Pop' direction the band took in order to get a hit) and Jeff Beck joins. It includes all their well known singles (A & B sides), the EP 'Five Yardbirds' as well as tracks recorded in various studios in America (e.g. Sun Records) as well as an odd single released in Italy. Keith Relf singing in Italian does pale quickly on 'Questa Volta (Jeff Beck was so disgusted he refused to play on the track) and perhaps hints at why Gomelsky was sacked soon after.
The LAST CD contains all the session material recorded by the Yardbirds for an abandoned album 'A Yardbirds 'Eye' View of Beat'. Although most of the tracks are incomplete, Jeff Beck's playing is superb and demonstrates how cutting edge the Yardbirds were in experimenting with fuzztone, distortion and other sonic effects that soon became the tricks of the trade. Some of these tracks were to be resurrected and completed for the Yardbirds next album 'Roger The Engineer' but on their new label.
Each CD Comes In A Individual Cardboard Sleeve And Housed In A CD-Sized Hardcover Clamshell Box Includes 48 Page Book.
