The Yardbirds are an iconic British rock band, formed in London in 1963. They are noted for their exploration of blues, rhythm and blues, and rock music. The group consisted of Keith Relf on vocals and harmonica, Paul Samwell-Smith on bass, Chris Dreja on rhythm guitar and later bass when Samwell-Smith left the band, and Jim McCarty on drums. A defining characteristic of the band was its revolving lineup of legendary lead guitarists.

The Yardbirds' innovative approach to music pushed the boundaries of rock 'n' roll, notably influencing the development of hard rock and psychedelic rock genres. Their high-energy performances popularized the "rave-up" style, where a song builds in tempo and intensity.

In 1992, The Yardbirds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as performers. Their legacy continues to inspire countless musicians worldwide. Under the leadership of Jim McCarty with a constantly evolving lineup, they continue to tour and captivate audiences with their timeless music.

between 1965 and 1968, the yardbirds went from a group thatslavishly imitated chicago blues to more of a psychedelic pop act, virtually inventing the heavy rock guitar style along the way. these bbc recordings document that journey. having replaced the recently departed blues purist eric clapton with the more adventurous jeff beck, the yardbirds produced more daring experimental compositions, like the electric sitar rave-up 'over under sideways down' and the gregorian chant-driven 'still i'm sad' that evolved from jamming to 'rock around the clock'. making the most of beck's playing and keith relf's nasal singing and wailing harp, the band honoured their roots with covers ranging from mose allison's 'i'm not talking' to chuck berry's 'too much monkey business' andelmore james' 'dust my broom'. by the time jimmy page replaced jeff beck and bassist paul samwell-smith left the band, the yardbirds bluesier elements were greatly reduced. the last six songs on this collection reflect this shift, particularly on the original composition 'think about it', pointing towards the heavier sound page would use after the yardbirdsbecame led zeppelin.
