YARDBIRDS "LIVE YARDBIRDS" 1971 original U.S. Epic LP E 30615 w/DJ timing strip, "I'm Confused" ("Dazed & Confused"), "I'm A Man" + 7 more Pop Psych/Blues Boom classics. VG+/M

 The date was March 30th 1968. The Yardbirds era was almost over. Famous for  recruiting the best lead guitarists in England- Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck & for this incarnation, the little known session axe-man  Jimmy Page. They  started life as one of Britain’s premier R&B outfits & became the resident band at the Crawdaddy Club after the Rolling Stones had moved on to bigger & better venues.  After they hit big with “For Your Love” in 1965, Eric Clapton felt they were becoming too commercial leaving to join John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. But the Yardbirds didn’t miss a beat, recruiting Jeff Beck & continuing their run of hits with original material such as “Heart Full Of Soul”, “Shapes Of Things” & “Over Under Sideways Down” . But by 1968, their groundbreaking days were behind them & a production deal with Mickie Most saddled them with tepid material- “Little Games”, “Ha Ha Said The Clown” & “Ten Little Indians” to name just a few. Jimmy Page had switched from rhythm to lead guitar after the departure of Jeff Beck & glimpses of brilliance did occasionally peep through on B-sides such as “Think About It”  & LP material such as “Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor” but for the most part the studio recordings by the group were mediocre at best. Rumor persisted that Jimmy Page was about to form his own group but the Yardbirds were contractually obliged to do one last tour in 1968 of which this New York City concert was a part. Held at the Anderson Theatre shortly before it became the Fillmore East, Keith Relf (vocals), Chris Dreja (bass), Jim Mc Carty (drums) & Page proved they could still deliver the goods with great versions of “The Train Kept A Rollin”, “I’m A Man” & the debut of a new song “I’m Confused” (which later became known as “Dazed & Confused” by Led Zeppelin).  Epic released this album in 1971 but it wasn’t available long before Jimmy Page had it withdrawn due to the inclusion of “I’m Confused”; he didn’t want to acknowledge that it had been recorded before the Led Zeppelin version. Not to mention the original folk recording by Jake Holmes which inspired it. This is an original Epic edition of a record that has often been bootlegged over the years. It comes complete with the DJ timing strip which proves its authenticity.

9 tracks- The Train Kept A Rollin', You're A Better Man Than I/Heart Full Of Soul, I'm Confused, My Baby, Over Under Sideways Down, Drinking Muddy Water, Shapes Of Things, White Summer & I'm A Man.

Cover is intact & retains its original gloss & look with no writing or split seams. There is minor edge wear & beginning ring wear on the front plus nearly negligible H2O penetration along the bottom which caused slight "crinkling". Still looks quite presentable. Overall the cover rates a strong VG+ grading. The  record has no scratches or scuffs. Very few plays on this LP- rated MINT. The stock yellow Epic labels look good & there are no spindle marks. Has the intact 3" x 12" Radio Station Service "timing strip" attached to the lower, front cover which proves that this LP is an original pressing.
