Comment:

The influential Yardbirds are best remembered as an R&B band.responsible for launching three of rocks' premier guitarist. They evolved out of The Metropolitan Blues Quartet who became The Yardbirds in 1963. The success of the pop oriented single "For Your Love" left Eric Clapton unhappy at the group's new commercial direction so he joined John Mayall's band and he was replaced by Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds began experimenting in the studio and sought to test out their new sounds on their records. Eastern sounds and Gregorian chant were significant testimonies of their excursion into experimental pop and psychedelia. 1966, however, marked the departure of much underrated bass player--Paul Samwell-Smith to do production work. He was replaced by Jimmy Page who soon took over on lead guitar, whilst Dreja switched to bass. The Yardbirds were indeed enormously influential not only in Britain rock outfits like Led Zeppelin, but also in America where countless garage bands sought to emulate their style. They were enormously popular in America where they had no less than six albums of their material released under different titles and with different listings to the UK ones. The Yardbirds unfortunately soon disintegrated once they could no longer attain commercial success. Relf formed Together and then Renaissance. Dreja became a photographer and Page was left to form the enormously successful Led Zeppelin, who were originally, for a very short while, known as The New Yardbirds. Disastrously Relf died in 1976 after electrocuting himself at his home. The tape features Yardbird tracks and post Yardbird output from Clapton, Beck, Page and Relf.
