YARDBIRDS
The Yardbirds are an English rock band that had a string of hits in the mid 1960s, including "For Your Love", "Over Under Sideways Down" and "Heart Full of Soul". The group is notable for having started the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, all of whom were in the top fifteen of Rolling Stone's 100 Top Guitarists list (Clapton as #4, Page as #9, and Beck as #14). A blues-based band that broadened its range into pop and rock, The Yardbirds were pioneers in the guitar innovation of the '60s: fuzz tone, feedback, distortion, backwards echo, improved amplification, etc. Pat Pemberton, writing for Spinner, holds that the Yardbirds were "the most impressive guitar band in rock music". After the Yardbirds broke up in 1968, their current lead guitarist Jimmy Page founded what became Led Zeppelin.
The bulk of the band's most successful self-written songs came from bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith who, with singer/harmonica player Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty and rhythm guitarist/bassist Chris Dreja, constituted the core of the group. The band reformed in the 1990s, featuring McCarty, Dreja and new members. The Yardbirds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

Compiling a good cross section of the Yardbirds' work on one CD is tough, owing to the sheer range of their evolution across the five years of their existence - additionally, the easy availability of their pre-1966 library has led to a glut of "best-of" collections focusing on that period, enough so that potential customers might, understandably, be wary of anything sporting the title. Given those caveats, Repertoire Records has done a good job (apart from one glaring omission) on this CD, covering the three major periods in the Yardbirds' recording history, as they evolved from a blues-rock band to a progressive pop/rock band and into a psychedelic pop outfit, even if they can't mine any of those periods deeply enough to get at some of the treasures buried in each (there's no live material here, for example, despite the fact that the Five Live Yardbirds album was a high-water mark of the Eric Clapton era). The disc is arranged in non-chronological order and, indeed, reminds one of an old classic double-LP layout, with their best-known songs ("For Your Love," "Heart Full of Soul," "Shapes of Things," etc.) front-loaded, filling up the first dozen slots - and it acknowledges the reality of the CD era by tossing both their original Sun Records-recorded "Train Kept A' Rollin'" and its flashier London-spawned remake "Stroll On" (which only became well known in the wake of all of those ubiquitous CD compilations of the 1990s) into that grouping. But included with them are the spacier Jimmy Page/Jeff Beck-driven experiments "Psycho Daisies" and "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago," plus Jeff Beck's crunching Chuck Berry homage "Jeff's Boogie." Those are followed by the equivalent of an LP side of psychedelic-era curios from the Jimmy Page era, "Little Games," "Ha Ha Said the Clown," "Good Night Sweet Josephine" - but, amazingly, there's no "Think About It," the finest of the late-era Page tracks - so we're missing the last great record the group made. And then, for what would have been the second LP. we go backward, to 1963 and 1964, and the Eric Clapton era, with nine songs representing the Yardbirds as one of the finest blues bands in the business. This is work as solid as the best music of the Rolling Stones or the Animals of the same era only with more virtuosity on the guitar, but it's also been licensed for too many collections to keep count, hence its inclusion late on the CD. And the makers finish this collection off with "Paff Boom" and "Questa Volta," a pair of Italian-market novelty items that don't represent the group anywhere near its peak - "Questa Volta" could have been relinquished in favor of "Think About It," a much more important recording. That important flaw aside, the virtues of this disc include absolutely killer sound and thorough annotation. It's a fine - almost perfect - place to start listening to the Yardbirds, and get one's feet wet in most of the best of their history. ~ Bruce Eder
Among major league `60s rock & rollers, there is no discography as confusing as that of the Yardbirds. True, the Small Faces may run a close second, but those essentially recycle existing recordings: many of the Yardbirds' non-canonical sessions belong to a variety of copyright holders who happily license them to anybody that will foot the bill, causing intense catalog confusion. Easy Action's Glimpses is truly the first attempt to do a successful comprehensive roundup of rarities, packaging a variety of alternate takes, live cuts, commercials, and BBC Sessions in a handsome box. Much of this is officially unreleased, some of it is unheard, and even though it runs well over 100 tracks, there are some areas that are either missing or glossed over (no cuts of the band supporting Sonny Boy Williamson, for instance). Still, given a myriad of confusing licensing reasons, this is as definitive a collection of rarities that could possibly exist, presented in the best audio possible (and some of this is indeed pretty rough, drowning in hiss and crackles), and presented as a thorough narrative of the band's career, complete with interview clips. Certainly, it is too much to digest in one sitting - it is clearly an archival project, proceeding doggedly through its history and sometimes hampered by its shaky audio - but all of it is interesting and much of it is compelling, particularly the live cuts and BBC Sessions. Of course, Glimpses is for the hardcore fan, the kind whose shelves are filled with all those cut-rate comps and boots released over the years, but it is a set that will thrill them: it's handsome, entertaining, and, surprisingly, has more than its share of small revelations. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
