Product Info
A selection of the Yardbirds BBC key ‘live’ recordings, assembled with the assistance of the BBC, with several tracks now all together the first time on this newly restored and remastered 2LP set.

Sourced from the BBC, this double LP covers numerous songs - including smash hits such as ‘For Your Love’, ‘Heart Full Of Soul’ and Yardbirds classic stage favourites ‘Too Much Monkey Business’, ‘Smokestack Lightning’, ‘I’m A Man’ and ‘Train Kept A-Rollin’’. Guitar legends Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page feature alongside front man Keith Relf, Paul Samwell-Smith and Jim McCarty in these sessions, recorded by the world renowned broadcasting organisation for radio transmission and our LPs feature a selection of the best available Yardbirds’ BBC Radio One output from 1965-1968.
