The Yardbirds were among the hottest of all the great groups that exploded on the Sixties' R&B scene.
Fronted by vocalist Keith Relf, the group boasted an array of influential guitarists. Eric Clapton gained his first experience with the band until Jeff Beck replaced him, hotly pursued by Jimmy Page.
'The Best Of The Yardbirds' is a superb compilation of songs and performances spanning the years 1964-1967. 28 tracks highlight the changes of mood by a group that laid the foundations for progressive rock.
Advanced arrangements such as 'Shapes Of Things' and 'Over Under Sideways Down' pre-empted The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper'. Raucous R&B and catchy pop songs include their 1965 hit 'For Your Love', while Beck powers up 'Jeff's Boogie' and 'Stroll On'- a number featured in the cult movie 'Blow Up'.
