Artist: YARDBIRDS
Album: FOR YOUR LOVE REMASTERED (DIGI)

Release date: 1965/ 2007
Media type: CD

‘Hey! This will be Number One baby!’ That’s what manager Giorgio Gomelsky told The Yardbirds when they finished recording ‘For Your Love’. This unusual song, written by future 10cc tunesmith Graham Gouldman, was indeed a smash hit for the group in 1965. With its bongo beat and harpsichord backing, the song was given a lively treatment that ensured the R&B group would become overnight pop stars.

This displeased blues purist Eric Clapton, who quit shortly after the single’s release. However, Eric can be heard playing with vigorous energy on such B-sides as ‘Got To Hurry’ and ‘I Wish You Would’, all part of an excellent compilation originally designed as the band’s first U.S. album release.

We have added a further 13 bonus items, including a rare 1963 studio acetate, demos and several tracks featuring Clapton’s replacement, Jeff Beck.
