VERY LIMITED VERY RAW...this is 1969
THE NEW YARDBIRDS
UK? - After Hours/ EXCELLO RECORDS
Very limited ages old collectible by the ZEPPELIN crew in mid 1969 chumming the waters with great hopes for popularity among the rock & roll world... at this stage they coupldn't have dreamed up what was in store for them - regarding their popularity...but here they are in the early days - of it all...
No doubt the beautiful full color cover instantly catches one attention with great hopes for selections from the obscure twilight zone between the Yardbirds' final break up and the Led Zeppelin revelation! Turns out this record is a previously unreleased "rarity" with basement-fidelity recorded in 1969 at San Francisco and London locations...The LP was thrust upon a collector mad populace in tiny production numbers - to the point where so many years later, it has become a hotly sought collectible. For certain it's a collectible that ultra-serious Zep fans are gonna want to add to their personal library ... One amusing note, and intypical fandom-based underground album fashion, the label ("After Hours") shows some ingenuity in their use of specially-created labels, not only because they were trying so hard to make their product look legitimate but because the old generation of pirate labels were so homage-laden that they just had to include little historical references and asides regarding their wares in order to prove they were just as fan-crazed about it all as the vinyl vampires gobbling up their product. Y'see, in typical latterday boot fashion "After Hours" decided to pay tribute to Zep not by utilizing ingenious replicas of the Atlantic label (which would have been too obvious), but by whipping up an inaccurate but great looking enough facsimile of the old "Excello" label, being the home of many '50s & '60s blues artists of whom the likes of Jimmy Page and crew continually swiped from - to great money-making effect! We don't know if this was done strictly as an underhanded way to credit the originators of the form or to poke fun at Zeppelin's dishonest raiding of past accomplishment, but it does seem fitting for people ripping off Zep to take aim at Zep's own ripoff practices in a manner such as this!
