The Yardbirds were an English rock group that had a string of Top 40 radio hits in mid-1960s in the UK and the US and introduced guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. Their first album released in the UK, Five Live Yardbirds (1964), represented their early club performances with Clapton.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Yardbirds' first American album, For Your Love (1965), was released to capitalise on their first hit, and to promote the group's first US tour.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". However, Clapton had already decided to pursue a different musical direction and was replaced by Beck.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Several popular singles with Beck followed, including a second American album, Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds (1965), that, as with their previous album, was a split release featuring songs with both Clapton and Beck.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

In 1966, the Yardbirds recorded their first studio album of all original material.[1] Released in the UK as Yardbirds and in the US as Over Under Sideways Down, the album acquired the nickname "Roger the Engineer" after a caption on the English cover drawn by rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Shortly after its release, bassist Paul Samwell-Smith left the group and was replaced by Page.[1] Page soon switched to second lead guitar, with Dreja taking over on bass.[1] This lineup only produced two songsTemplate:Sndthe psychedelic "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" (1966), which was the group's last song to reach the charts in the UK, and "Stroll On", the proto-heavy metal remake of "Train Kept A-Rollin'" they performed for the film Blowup (1966).[1]

The dual lead lineup with Beck and Page did not last long; Beck had become increasingly unhappy with the constant touring and left the group, with Page remaining as the sole guitarist.[1] The period as a quartet with Page was the Yardbirds' most stable and lasted nearly two and a half years.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". In the US, they continued to release singles and an album, Little Games (1967). The records, overseen by pop producer Mickie Most, were mostly out-of-step with the audience's shift to an album-oriented, more diverse sound.[1] However, the Yardbirds' frequent concert appearances at counter-culture venues were well received.[1] They were able to perform more experimental fare, such as "Dazed and Confused", the Page solo acoustic guitar piece "White Summer", and expanded, reworked versions and medleys of some of their earlier songs,Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". as documented on the Page-produced Yardbirds '68 (2017).[2] After a last American tour, the group disbanded in the summer of 1968.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

Since their breakup, a number of new albums have appeared. Besides numerous anthologies, albums featuring additional live recordings and various demos and outtakes from 1963 to 1968 have been released.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Although some have received favourable reviews, music critic Richie Unterberger has noted the great number of substandard releases throughout the world.[1] In 1994, original drummer Jim McCarty and rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja began performing and recording as the Yardbirds.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

Releases after 1969

A large number of Yardbirds anthologies of recordings originally produced by their first manager Gomelsky have been issued by numerous record companies over the years. These do not include songs recorded with other producers after March 1966, such as "Over Under Sideways Down", "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", and "Little Games".Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Often, the albums are a haphazard mix of studio and live recordings from the Clapton and early Beck eras.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Music critic Richie Unterberger wrote:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Their [Yardbirds' song] catalog, however, has been subject to more exploitation than any other group of the '60s; dozens, if not hundreds, of cheesy packages of early material are generated throughout the world on a seemingly monthly basis.[1]

Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

However, a few early Epic anthologies and the Rhino Records set Ultimate! (2001) managed to cross license material from the different producers.[1] Many albums of live recordings focusing on performances with Clapton or Beck have appeared and, in 2017, the Page-produced Yardbirds '68 was released. One studio album and several live albums recorded by the post-1999 reconstituted Yardbirds have been issued.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
