"if, like me , you realize how the 60's were like no other time, and the window has closed, this is an album full of songs that opens that window on the best era of music to come along scince the classical time. the yardbirds defined a type/style of the time. blues, rock, and psychedelic swirling around in one grand mix to create a unique stew. jeff beck shines on this album, as does the entire group. if at first listen, it sounds dated, give it a little time. it's raw and full simultaneously. if you are into the 60's, this is essential."
UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST....
Syd | Chicago | 01/27/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Pick any of the Best of the Best ever. I mean the all time greats: Court of the Crimson King, Dark Side Moon, Quadrophenia, Exile on Main St, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Days of Future Past, Freak Out, Safe as Milk, Spirit #1, Pet Sounds, Village Green Preservation, Aqualung, Velvet Underground and Nico. Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch, whatever... This one is up there with any of them. Amazingly, for a band basically known for their singles, there is not one hit single on this whole album, yet any one of these tracks could have been one, it's that tightly put together. Wow!"
When Will It End?
John P Bernat | Kingsport, TN USA | 06/30/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This great track on this compilation, surprisingly hard to find in something resembling the version that got a lot of airplay in the 1960s, features a strong backbeat, driving rhythms and a consistent message. If you feel down, play this and feel better.
Well, yes, it's admittedly shallow, sexist and juvenile. Joni Mitchell it ain't. But for sheer playability and youthful joy, what was its equal?
"I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself, it seems it's better done, than argued with somebody else."
When will it end? Hopefully never."
Segue From Yardbirds to Led Zeppelin
John Timmons | Rock Hill, SC | 04/18/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"My brother bought the original album at a record convention in 1979 when the album was nearly impossible to find anywhere. Now 30 years later, he is enjoying the CD to relive the memories of a 45 he bought in 1967 with "Over Under Side Ways Down" on side A and "Jeff's Boogie" on side B on the Epic label.
The bonus tracks only enhance a fine collection of songs that could arguably be called the beginning of an evolution. If you enjoy Led Zeppelin, you should listen to this album as the influences for the New Yardbirds (later Led Zeppelin) are more than coincidence."
