Description of Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: 1964-1966
Though short-lived, The Yardbirds legend and influence loom large, andrightfully so- the band was the starting point for three ultimate British guitar
heroes: Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page. Clapton departed the
group first (to join John Mayall' s Bluesbreakers), while Beck later went on to
form the Jeff Beck Group and Page would regroup with The New
Yardbirds an outfit soon renamed Led
Zeppelin. As The Yardbirds, though, they
delivered a series of groundbreaking LPs and
scorching blues-rock singles that are classic
cornerstones of rock n roll. This powerful
compilation features eighteen of their most
important early tracks, including the hits
For Your Love, Heart Full Of Soul,
The Train Kept A-Rollin , I' m A Man, and
other guitar-intense tours de force.
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. --Billy Altman
