Album Notes The Yardbirds includes: Keith Relf (vocals, harmonica); Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Chris Dreja (guitar); Paul Samwell-Smith (bass); Jim McCarty (drums). If the single-disc GREATEST HITS, VOLUME 1 (1964-1966) didn't satisfy your hunger for '60s blues-rock pioneers the Yardbirds, then try 1999's more thorough, double-disc THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION. All eras of the band are featured, from its blues-based work (a cover of the standard "Train Kept A-Rollin'") through pop ("For Your Love") and psychedelic ("Shapes of Things") directions. Longtime fans will be pleased with such rarities as an alternate take of Jeff Beck's "Jeff's Blues" and with the live set that opens up the second disc.
Industry Reviews 3 stars out of 5 - ...the work-in-progress takes of unfinished studio tacks and A-sides should prove a selling point....illuminating sleevenotes fill in the blanks... Q (10/01/1999)
