There are no shortage of quality Yardbirds retrospectives, but this 1999 release from the Recall label is pretty stacked. It"s got 36 tracks spread over two CDs that include the classics ("Shapes of Things," "For Your Love," "I"m a Man," etc.), various covers and eight live tracks, but is pretty scant on liner notes. Rhino"s 50-track Ultimate! is still the best anthology to date, but this Ultimate Collection would make a great find used or in a cutout bin. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
