THE YARDBIRDS - The Yardbirds Story 2002 4CD Boxset 
(Torrent contains track info .txt and 52 page booklet scans)

The Yardbirds were one of the world’s most successful and influential 
rock groups of the 60's, launching the careers of three of rock’s greatest 
guitarists and paving the way for heavy rock with their pioneering blend 
of blues, rock and psychedelia. 

Between 1963 and 1966 the group were managed by the legendary Giorgio 
Gomelsky, The Rolling Stones’ first manager and a leading figure on 
the burgeoning R&B scene of the day.

Spread over four generously filled discs, this set contains every 
released recording The Yardbirds made under Gomelsky’s mentorship. 
In addition to several rarities and alternate takes, it also 
contains outtakes from two recording sessions from 1966, which 
give a fascinating insight into the group’s creative process in 
the studio.

Including their four smash top ten hits, 'Shapes Of Things', 'For 
Your Love', 'Still I’m Sad' and 'Heart Full Of Soul', the set traces 
the group’s development from hesitant Chicago R&B copyists with Eric 
Clapton on lead guitar to the swaggering, ear-bending psychedelic 
rock of the Jeff Beck-fronted line-up. Digitally remastered from the 
best available audio sources, these seminal recordings have never 
sounded better.

Meticulously researched and compiled by Yardbird’s authority Phil 
Cohen, who contributes his own track-by-track commentary, the set’s 
52-page, lavishly illustrated booklet includes extensive notes by 
Giorgio Gomelsky. As well as providing a fascinating insider’s view 
of the group and its music, they vividly evoke the culture and 
excitement of the Swinging Sixties.
