MINTY CLEAN VINYL ! CIRCA '69 COLUMBIA RECORDS BRITISH ISSUE

51 YEARS OLD PRESSING with LAMINATED front cover and 'flapback" seams back cover.

= MONO SONG MIXES =

This exciting UK-only Columbia Records '60s pressing was not released in the USA. The first official Yardbirds Lp was unveiled on the world in 1964 and immediately propelled the group to top level "British Invasion" status next to the The Beatles & Rolling Stones ... Again, this is a 50 year old release with M- clean vinyl! (See full details below)

The laminated cover contains the old style UK "flipback" seams - a guaranteed sign of a sixties pressing release...

......................................................................................................

Yardbirds was recorded at a live gig in a London club in 1964 before an enthusiastic audience. This was the Yardbirds second live recording, the first being Sonny Boy Williamson and the Yardbirds recorded in 1963. Eric Clapton's guitar playing is much improved from the earlier recording and this album is a must for fans of Clapton's early blues period. The Yardbirds' debut was a scholarly look at how the blues tradition passed onto British fanboys and it's a key document to see just how animated the venues were playing those blues covers, but other than imagery and the very recognizable set of classics. The Yardbirds debut LP in their home country was, unusually, a live album and but perhaps the best option for them because live on stage was where they shined. This legendary set captures the Clapton-era Yardbirds at their best. Raw energy... The Early Yardbirds, were like the early Rolling Stones very true to the roots of blues, and have reached some sort of legend status for being one of the first 60´s groups to introduce a harder sound. Which is also well displayed in the mid solo/jam break-outs within....
