The Yardbirds' second American album, and a fundamental one at that. Although the original version includes four of the ten tracks already featured on Five Live Yardbirds, released less than a year earlier in Great Britain, it confirms the talent of the two guitar monsters, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, which had been sketched out on the previous compilation album, For Your Love, and was to be decisive in the musicians' continued notoriety across the Atlantic.
