At the forefront of the rock revolution was The Yardbirds, one of the world"s first truly progressive groups. Repertoire Records is proud to present Yardbirds in a new deluxe boxed 2CD set. The original vinyl LP, released in July 1966, was a Top 20 hit and became known in the UK as Roger The Engineer, thanks to the quirky cover drawings by guitarist Chris Dreja. The album yielded the smash hit single "Over Under Sideways Down" (which was also the LP"s title in other markets, such as the USA) and other exciting performances like "The Nazz Are Blue" and "Jeff"s Boogie" - featuring legendary guitar hero Jeff Beck. His pioneering use of fuzz and sustain effects brought a new dimension to the sound of pop music. This superb special edition includes the complete mono and stereo versions of the 12 original tracks, that include such memorable songs as "Lost Woman", "I Can"t Make Your Way" and "Hot House Of Omagarishid" sung by the late Keith Relf. Two bonus tracks - both sides of a single - are added to the mono version. In an exclusive new interview for the CD booklet, founder member Chris Dreja talks about the making of the album.
