The Yardbirds. Having A Rave Up. Epic Records(BN 26177). 1965. Stereo 1st Edition.

The Yardbirds are an iconic British rock band, formed in London in 1963. Noted for their exploration of blues, rhythm and blues, and rock music, the group consisted of Keith Relf on vocals and harmonica, Paul Samwell-Smith on bass, Chris Dreja on rhythm guitar and later bass when Samwell-Smith left the band, and Jim McCarty on drums. A defining characteristic of the band was its revolving lineup of legendary lead guitarists, starting with Top Topham in 1963, followed by the eminent Eric Clapton (1963-1965), Jeff Beck (1965-1966), and lastly, Jimmy Page (1966-1968).

Their innovative approach to music was instrumental in pushing the boundaries of rock 'n' roll, notably influencing the development of hard rock and psychedelic rock genres. Known for their high-energy performances, they popularized the "rave-up" style, where a song builds in tempo and intensity, a technique that later found its way into heavy metal.
