Limited five disc (four CDS + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) set. This landmark boxset brings together 70 audio tracks by legendary English group, The Yardbirds, for the first time. Featuring live performances from across Europe, rare studio cuts and 21 previously unissued BBC off-air recordings. The band's career from their blues beginnings to the pioneering psychedelic hard rock which lay the foundations for Led Zeppelin is charted across five discs. Amongst the numerous highlights are seminal performances by guitar legends, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, all of whom ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists ever.

This major English band of the 60s, precursor and founder of hard rock blues, exerted a decisive influence on a whole section of rock history. Despite his short career (1963-1968) started at the same time as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, he saw the holy trinity of British guitarists : Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck.

Eric Clapton has become one of Britain's most successful guitar heroes of the last three decades, a writer, singer and performer who has consistently produced quality singles and albums which have sold millions around the globe, and whose live shows are always guaranteed standing-room-only events. Clapton has now been a solo performer for so long that it is easy to forget that his formative musical years were spent working with a variety of different blues bands, including John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and not forgetting the legendary Yardbirds.

3 CD Set, 69 remastered and and restored tracks from 1964-1968 together for the first time on one release. Featuring Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck And Jimmy Page.
