Greatest Hits, Vol. 1

Though short-lived, The Yardbirds legend and influence loom large, and rightfully 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.

The Yardbirds' 1967 release Little Games --produced by noted British pop guru Mickie Most--is the band's only album to be recorded entirely with Page as a member, and the only one to feature the group's final lineup of Page and founding members Keith Relf, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty. Little Games is also a transitional effort that finds the Yardbirds delving into an array of sounds and styles, from gritty blues-rock ("Drinking Muddy Water") to swirling psychedelia ("Glimpses") to introspective balladry ("Only the Black Rose"). Several of the album's tracks can now be seen as sonic blueprints for Led Zeppelin, e.g. "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor" and "Glimpses," both ...
