Description:

This release features a special gatefold LP-style CD sleeve.
Digitally remastered German version.
In the grand tradition of American record labels mucking about with the contents of British bands` albums, HAVING A RAVE UP WITH THE YARDBIRDS is a mishmash that actually stars two different lineups of the band. Side one is new studio material with new lead guitarist Jeff Beck, and it includes several classics, including the almost-hit "Heart Full of Soul," the eastern-influenced drones of "Still I`m Sad" (around this time, every UK band was doing their Indian music thing) and the Ray Davies-like social commentary of "Mister, You`re A Better Man Than I." Side two cuts the UK-only FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS (the group`s debut album, with original lead guitarist Eric Clapton) down to a single LP side, a worthy distillation that shows off both Clapton and singer Keith Relf to their best advantage. This CD issue includes several key non-LP tracks from the same era, including "Stroll On," a rewrite of "Train Kept A-Rollin`" recorded for the film BLOW-UP that debuted the new lineup that added second guitarist Jimmy Page.
