This, from last year, is really awesome, especially the live disc: https://www.discogs.com/Yardbirds-Yardbirds-68/master/1269951

I would skip the McCarty-birds and get that killer Yardbirds '68 comp. I think it's my fave reissue from last year.

Roger the Engineer was pretty much the shape of hard rock to come.

Reviews say Yardbirds '68 has the Anderson Theater set that's been available before, but it's fixed up to sound clearer. Question: does it sound *that* much better to justify the premium price?
― Josefa, Sunday, 15 April 2018 15:02 (six years ago) link
Sounds quite good, finally heard it yesterday. But not compared it with anything. Just been shared on torrent sites. But I'm still thinking of buying it.

Haven't heard it yet, but the original issue had overdubbed crowd noise (from bullfights), so presumably this reissue sounds better.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 15 April 2018 16:26 (six years ago) link
EVERY live album should have overdubbed bullfight noises.
― scott seward, Sunday, 15 April 2018 16:33 (six years ago) link
the new ugly things claims that they are not actual bullfight noises, the myth beginning with a misinterpreted jimmy page quote.
― Thus Sang Freud, Sunday, 15 April 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
It was actually Jake Holmes who said it had bullfight noises.(and Scott otm)

What's the deal with "Knowing That I'm Losing You" being released without the vocals (as they'd already been on Cumular Limit)? Is Pagey afraid of being sued by Relf's estate for not acknowledging Keith wrote the lyrics to the second verse?
― Lee626, Monday, 16 April 2018 04:51 (six years ago) link
FWIW, I have the original issue of the Anderson Bullfight show and the new remaster completely smokes it.

this is a group i could be a completist of from their beginning till their end!

Watching through some interviews, picked up a nugget from Angus that him and Malcolm saw the Yardbirds live with Jimmy Page and were quite impressed.
Seeing the Yardbirds live seems to be a pretty formative thing for many of the old rock and rollers - I've seen this stated in various interviews with Nugent, Iggy, Wayne Kramer and both Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry.

It's pretty easy to snag the more or less 'Complete' Yardbirds: the Yardbirds By Giorgio Gomelsky box on Charly for everything from the beginning up 'til early '66; a good reissue of Roger The Engineer for the rest of '66; and an expanded Little Games and that Yardbirds '68 thing for everything Page. There's also a BBC set, but IMHO those recordings (Beck & Page eras, nothing together) aren't that revelatory.

Yardbirds discography has generally always been a bit of a basket case.
― earlnash, Friday, 24 December 2021 15:59 (two years ago) link
ultimate covers all their albums best songs and more and the ones it misses is no great loss!
― xzanfar, Friday, 24 December 2021 16:01 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah, drag with taht yardbirds Giorgio gomelski thing is that it has loads of tyakes of several songs following each other. Which I think is probably not the best way to listen to them. I think I have a copy.Shame the Ultimate set is so compressed.
& wish I could get that Roger The Engineer expanded as cd only. Or at least without Stereo following mono version which is a drag on a 3changer.
― Stevolende, Friday, 24 December 2021 16:05 (two years ago) link
the expanded for your love, having a rave up and little games might be interesting to hear anyone have these?
― xzanfar, Friday, 24 December 2021 16:18 (two years ago) link
I had an (the?) expanded Little Games years ago (mid-'90s) and was extremely disappointed. I was expecting more things along the lines of "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago," but it's mostly (as I recall, it's been years since I listened to it) Mickie Most trying to smother all of the band's strengths in awful arrangements.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 24 December 2021 16:28 (two years ago) link
There's been a least a few different Little Games reissues with different extras. I've got the Tarfumes has, the '90s EMI double, which gets bogged down a bit in the bonuses mostly being alt. mixes and backing tracks. There's a newer edition on Spotify that has a bunch of Page-era BBC recordings added on instead.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 24 December 2021 16:48 (two years ago) link
The Little Games album itself is a mixed bag, as Mickie Most really wasn't the producer that lineup needed, although there is a neat friction at times with Page throwing out these wild solos on Pop ready-mades foisted onto the band.
Another problem is that some of that era's best stuff was on singles (like "Think About It", "Puzzles", and their scary version of Nilsson's "Ten Little Indians"), so make sure that the version you're checking out has extras.
