The Yardbirds - The Yardbirds Story : 1963-66 (4 CD, 2007) [FLAC]

 

This four-CD box set features highlights from the early and middle periods of the Yardbirds' career, during which they were produced and managed by the legendary U.K. impresario Giorgio Gomelsky. As well as cuts from the band's phenomenally successful FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS album, the set also includes live recordings made with the U.S. blues artist Sonny Boy Williamson, pop hits such as "For Your Love," "Shapes of Things," and "Heart Full of Soul," and a remake of "Train Kept a Rollin'" called "Stroll On," done for the Antonioni movie BLOW UP.

Various studio outtakes and alternate takes are also featured.
