The Yardbirds Little Games on 180g LPBy the time Jimmy Page joined the Yardbirds in 1966, the group was already firmly established as one of the eras most innovative and creativley adventurous British bands. The addition of Page allowed the bands heady mix of blues and psychedelia to coalesce into an edgy approach that laid the stylistic groundwork for Pages next band, Led Zeppelin who were known as the New Yardbirds in their early days.The Yardbirds 1967 release Little Games, produced by noted British pop guru Mickie Most, is the bands only album to be recorded entirely with Page as a member, and the only one to feature the groups final lineup of Page and founding members Keith Relf, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty. Little Games is also a transitional effort that finds the Yardbirds delving into an array of sounds and styles, from gritty blues-rock (Drinking Muddy Water) to swirling psychedelia (Glimpses) to introspective balladry (Only the Black Rose).Several of the albums tracks can now be seen as sonic blueprints for Led Zeppelin such as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor and Glimpses, both of which feature the distinctive guitar bowing technique for which Page would soon become famous. Pages acoustic instrumental showcase White Summer would later become a frequent feature of Led Zeppelins live performances. The album also features Pages future Zep bandmate John Paul Jones on bass, cello and string arrangements, along with guest appearances by U.K. session aces Nicky Hopkins and Clem Cattini.The Yardbirds Little Games Track Listing:1.
