This is the one to get, to hear how it all started, with the super group of the 60's, with Beck, Clapton, Page, etc.It's a funny thing, that just about any rock and roller knows about The Yardbirds someway or another.Quite simply an amazing collection
OK it may not be flawless but it could have been a hell of a lot worse.The live tracks could've been negotiated better, I'll grant that but I still find it fascinating.Ultimate Yardbirds indeed
This set has every thing you'd want from the Yardbirds in one neat collection.CD box set
'Ultimate' is the absolute BEST Yardbirds compilation that's ever been put out,released,bootlegged,thought of,etc.Yeah, it has major faults, but it's still very good
True, it has a few really weak songs which are just included because they were minor hits.True, it leaves off two good songs from "Roger the Engineer.What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?Find out in Music You Should Hear, where these and other artists tell you about the music they love.If you need help or have a question for Customer Service, contact us.Please note that we are unable to respond directly to all feedback submitted via this form, but we'll ask you to sign in so we can contact you if needed.Track your recent orders.View or change your orders in Your Account.Featuring Junkyard Dogs and Cats, birds, critters, planters and feeders for yard, garden, patio, deck or in the home.Pepsi Smash
