YARDBIRDS - FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS Vinyl LP

60th Anniversary Repress- Remastered from original 1964 first edition- Debut album recorded live at the Marquee Club, London- Featuring Eric Clapton- High gloss sleeve.FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS is the debut album by British blues-rock band The Yardbirds. It features ten American rhythm and blues songs reimagined in, what would become, The Yardbirds' "rave-up"signature. The "rave-up"treatment was the art of stretching a song with instrumental interludes building to a climax and was pioneered by the band for their live shows.The album was recorded at the Marque Club on Wardour Street, London in March 1964 and released in the UK in December that year. It was the inspiration of the bands manager Giorgio Gomelsky who wanted to capture and preserve their youthful energy and the electric atmosphere.At the time of release, it was not well received critically and failed to chart. Subsequently it is acclaimed as the most important live album of the Sixties during the British rock boom. Aerosmith's founding guitarist Joe Perry describes their version of Chuck Berry's 'Too Much Monkey Business' as a blueprint for much of what Aerosmith tried to do.
