This album's been rehashed many times already, particularly as it 
contains some of the seeds of Page's later work with Led Zeppelin. 
Yet this particular package finally does away with the shoddy production 
of yesteryear and replaces it with sparkling clarity. Page's sonic trickery and inventiveness (bowed strings, fuzz madness etc.) shine out in digital format. Page's guitar work was pretty well up to scratch by this stage. Endless gigging Stateside had honed his psychedelic muse and the acoustic work on ''White Mountain'' (actually a copy of Davey Graham's ''She Moved Through The Fair'') was never bettered (and often recapped) in his days with the mighty Zep. Song writing, when allowed by the dictatorial Most, was much improved from the earlier blues rave-ups of their last album (Roger The Engineer). Relf's ''Only The Black Rose'' is particularly sweet, and, as extra live tracks (including the original template of ''Dazed And Confused'') and BBC sessions show, the band was as tight as they'd ever been in their Beckian heyday. So, not the disaster that legend has it. In fact, were it not for the indifference met in the UK by late 1967, these Yardbirds may well have flown on to better things. Their last B-side, ''Think About It'', features playing every bit as explosive as anything that Page was yet to achieve. Unfortunately it came too late to save the band. This reissue goes some way in restoring an unnecessarily tarnished reputation
