The Yardbirds had a string of hits in the mid-1960s, including For Your Love, Over Under Sideways Down and Heart Full of Soul – all of which appear on this album.

After breaking up in the late '60s — and almost immediately morphing into Led Zeppelin — The Yardbirds, who spawned the careers of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, re-united in 1995, just a few years after their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
