The Yardbirds – Smokestack Lightning (2CD)
The Yardbirds exploded out of the London suburbs in 1963 delivering a combination of blistering rhythm and blues and a string of mind-boggling singles which blazed a trail for psychedelic rock. An unparalleled trio of guitarists (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page) provided the rocket fuel for this underrated band’s stunning career.
