Description
WITH JEFF BECK AND JIMMY PAGE IN THE SAME BAND FOR A SHORT TIME THINGS WERE BOUND TO HAPPEN.
ON THE "A" BECK STEALS QUITE A BIT OF THE THUNDER WITH HIS SOLO BUT OVERALL, "HAPPENINGS TEN YEARS TIME AGO" WAS SIMPLY, GROUNBREAKING. HEAVY AND FREAKY WITH ADDED BACKGROUND NOISE AND CHAT, IT'S BLISTERING.
THEN TURN OVER FOR ONE OF THOSE "B" SIDE EXPERIENCES. THE SHORTER "PHSYCHO DASIES" WAS A TRACK THAT HIT HOME WITH A LOT OF U$ BANDS BIG TIME. IT'S ANOTHER GEORGEOUS SLICE OF POWERDRIVEN BECK PACKED INTO A THREE CHORD TRICK WITH THE ADDED BONUS OF HEARING PAGE COMING TO THE SURFACE AS WELL. THE LYRICS MAKE IT AS NEAR A MODERN TAKE ON CHUCK BERRY AS ANYONE WAS LIKELY TO GET. IMAGINE IF EGO'S COULD HAVE BEEN CONTROLLED? AS THE TRACK IS SHORT AND THE GROOVES SPACED IT SOUNDS LOUDER.
CONDITION WISE THE LABELS HAVE DULLED A LITTLE WITH AGE AND THERE IS A GHOST OF A STICKER ON THE "A" LABEL JUST ABOVE THE "YARDBIRDS MUSIC" CREDIT. THE VINYL ON BOTH SIDES SPORTS TWO OR THREE SURFACE MARKS BUT THESE DO NOT DIG INTO THE GROOVES. THE POWER IS STILL THERE IN THE SOUND WITH ANY AUDIBLE DEFAULTS BEING BARLEY NOTICABLE. I WOULD GRADE AS VG. THE RECORD WAS RELEASED '66 ON PARLAPHONE DB 8024.
