| book description |
There are many reasons for loving The Yardbirds that go way beyond knowing that the 'group' was the launchpad for three superstar guitarists - Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. The Yardbirds operated as an interdependent unit, from their 'most blueswailing' origins following The Rolling Stones with a 'Crawdaddy Club' residency, through their series of innovative hit singles - 'For Your Love', 'Evil Hearted You', 'I'm A Man' into 'Shapes Of Things' and beyond, which rivalled The Beatles, The Kinks and The Who at the very bleeding-edge of 1960s rock culture. The neglected psychedelic classics 'Happenings Ten Years Time Ago' and 'Mister, You're A Better Man Than I'carried their legacy over into the punk era. Their cult albums, Five Live Yardbirds, Roger The Engineer and Little Games, remain highly esteemed and collectable decades later, while their sequence in Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up movie catches the sixties at its most swingingly iconic. Classic rock seldom came as classic as it does with The Yardbirds, and now considered stars of heritage Rock, this book exhaustively traces the full Yardbirds story track-by-track from first to last, then picks up the narrative as former members become Led Zeppelin, Renaissance, Box of Frogs and the later Yardbirds reunion.
