"

If any album captures the spirit of the Sixties British Blues era it must be 'Five Live Yardbirds'. Starring lead guitarist Eric Clapton and featuring singer Keith Relf, this was recorded 'live' during the heat of a wild night at the Marquee Club in 1964. Our CD faithfully recaptures the frenzied atmosphere of a typical London gig, when rock was young and so were the musicians and their cheering fans."

"

This special new edition of The Yardbirds' debut album has all the R&B classics that the group revitalised and made their own.They tear into rave up performances of'Too Much Monkey Business' and 'Smokestack Lightning' reshaping the blues into the guitar rock of the future. As well as ten original album cuts, we have added eight more 'live' 1963 recordings from the Crawdaddy Club and a 1967 show in Germany that includes their futuristic hit 'Shapes Of Things'."
