(Repertoire)
★★★★
Originally an R’n’B covers band with Eric Clapton on guitar, by the mid-1960s the Yardbirds were chart toppers with For You Love, Heart Full Of Soul and Shapes of Things.
Culled from BBC radio broadcasts from 1964 to 1968, this three-CDs set features tracks broadcast from the National Jazz and Blues Festival in Richmond-upon-Thames in 1964, the pre-Radio One Saturday Club, Saturday Swings, The Beat Show, the Ken Dodd and Joe Loss shows, Whole Scene Going — all with Jeff Beck — and a final session with Jimmy Page from Saturday Club and John Peel’s Top Gear from 1968.
