Though short-lived, The Yardbirds legend and influence loom large, and rightfully sothe band was the starting point for three ultimate British guitar heroes: Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page. Clapton departed the group first (to join John Mayalls Bluesbreakers), while Beck later went on to form the Jeff Beck Group and Page would regroup with the New Yardbirdsan outfit soon renamed Led Zeppelin. As The Yardbirds, though, they delivered a series of groundbreaking LPs and scorching blues-rock singles that are classic cornerstones of rock n roll. This powerful compilation features eighteen of their most important early tracks, including the hits "For Your Love," "Heart Full of Soul," "The Train Kept A-Rollin'," "I'm a Man," and other guitar-intense tours de force.
