The Yardbirds Greatest Hits

The Yardbirds Greatest Hits

The Yardbirds Greatest Hits was the first compilation album of songs recorded by The Yardbirds. It was released in 1967 by Rhino Records.

While the Yardbirds graduated three of the greatest guitarists in rock history, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, during their 1963-68 existence, the group's best work came during Beck's '65-'66 tenure, which produced nearly all their hit singles and virtually everything found here. (Notable exception: their debut hit, "For Your Love," which Clapton was barely audible on anyway.)From the cat scratch fever of "I'm A Man" to the guitar-as-weapon solo in "Mister, You're a Better Man Than I," Beck rewrote the lead guitar textbook, and on one of the few songs recorded when he and Page were in the band together--"Happenings Ten Years Time Ago"--they foreshadowed the sound of '70s rock.
