Five Live Yardbirds
7/13/2005, AMG

Five Live Yardbirds was the first important -- indeed, essential -- live album to come out of the 1960s British rock & roll boom. In terms of the performance captured and...  more >

For Your Love
7/13/2005, AMG

Back in 1965, this album seemed like a real mess, which was understandable, because For Your Love wasn't a "real" album, in the sense that the Yardbirds ever assembled an LP...  more >

Greatest Hits, Volume One (1964-1966)
7/13/2005, AMG

Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: 1964-1966 falls short of being a truly definitive compilation, stopping shortly after Jeff Beck joined the group and thereby leaving off anything from...  more >

Little Games Sessions & More
8/4/2007, AMG

This two-CD set assembles the complete Little Games album and all of the usable rehearsals, unmixed backing tracks, and alternate takes associated with it in one place,...  more >

Roger The Engineer
7/13/2005, AMG

Once Jeff Beck joined the Yardbirds, the group began to explore uncharted territory, expanding their blues-rock into wild sonic permutations of psychedelia, Indian music,...  more >

Smokestack Lightning, Vol. 1
9/24/1991, Yahoo! Music, Tristram Lozaw

The double-CD Smokestack Lightning focuses on innovative tracks from the For Your Love and Having A Rave-Up With The Yardbirds and includes live cuts from the...  more >

Smokestack Lightning, Vol. 1
7/13/2005, AMG

This two-CD set was part of the first serious attempt to assemble the early Yardbirds material in a coherent form, mastered from decent sources. As the first Yardbirds...  more >

Volume 2-Blues, Backtrack's And...
9/24/1991, Yahoo! Music, Tristram Lozaw

This solid double-disc covers such later Yardbirds hits as "Shapes Of Things," outtakes from 1966's Roger The Engineer, live cuts and other oddities. (Note: Yardbirds CDs...  more >

Volume 2-Blues, Backtrack's And...
7/13/2005, AMG

The second volume of Sony Music Special Products' attempt to make coherent sense of the early Yardbirds catalog is just about a match for the first. This material had been...  more >

Clapton's Cradle: The Early Yardbirds Recordings
7/13/2005, AMG

No mere hyperbole in the title, here are the very first batch of Yardbirds recordings, all with a very young Eric Clapton in the lead guitar slot. Kicking things off is the...  more >

BBC Sessions
7/13/2005, AMG

The Yardbirds recorded several live sessions for the BBC between 1965 and 1968, following Eric Clapton's departure from the band. These recordings have previously been...  more >

Where The Action Is!
7/13/2005, AMG

An astonishingly fine, generally high-quality live-in-the-studio anthology, covering the Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page periods in the band's history. Buying it should be a...  more >

Little Games
7/13/2005, AMG

A curious release that basically condenses 1992's Little Games Sessions & More 32-track double CD into a 26-song, single-disc package. Six of the less essential cuts from...  more >

Roger The Engineer
7/13/2005, AMG

The BBC Sessions
7/13/2005, AMG

Over the years, the Yardbirds' performances for the BBC have been the focus of various bootlegs. But BBC Sessions is no bootleg. Assembled by Warner Bros. in 1997, this...  more >

Ultimate!
6/19/2001, Yahoo! Music, Ken Micallef

From early days as raucous blues belters to hit records laced with Indian drones, Gregorian chants, and psychedelia, the Yardbirds were '60s innovators who laid the...  more >

Ultimate!
7/13/2005, AMG

It had to happen sometime, and after about 30 years of piecemeal Yardbirds compilations, here it is: a lengthy best-of anthology that manages to cross-license material from...  more >

Birdland
4/7/2003, Yahoo! Music, Bill Holdship

It's a pleasant album, that's for sure. But if Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney decided to tour together with two new players, it wouldn't be the Beatles. When Pete Townshend...  more >

Birdland
7/13/2005, AMG

When this came out in 2003, it marked the first studio release by the Yardbirds in 35 years. In that time, of course, the personnel had changed quite a bit. Even those...  more >

Live! Blueswailing July '64
7/13/2005, AMG

This recently discovered seven-song set is an awe-inspiring live recording of the Yardbirds before their official debut, Five Live Yardbirds. As a document, it adds...  more >
