Album Notes The Yardbirds: Chris Dreja, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Top Topham (guitar); Keith Relf (harp); Paul Samwell Smith (bass instrument); Jim McCarty (drums). Recording information: 1963 - 1967. This four-CD box set features highlights from the early and middle periods of the Yardbirds' career, during which they were produced and managed by the legendary U.K. impresario Giorgio Gomelsky. As well as cuts from the band's phenomenally successful FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS album, the set also includes live recordings made with the U.S. blues artist Sonny Boy Williamson, pop hits such as "For Your Love," "Shapes of Things," and "Heart Full of Soul," and a remake of "Train Kept a Rollin'" called "Stroll On," done for the Antonioni movie BLOW UP. Various studio outtakes and alternate takes are also featured, as well as an informative booklet.
