*Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and am lucky to get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming (as I pause between each auction series to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) throughout this fall, several hundred to list, so keep checking back.

Please NOTE:
Some of my PHOTOS suffer from LOW LIGHT lighting conditions (due to very cloudy / rainy days recently).
This causes unavoidable grain and spottiness in image, particularly on dark covers / labels and especially the vinyl.
I apologize for that and assure all bidders that such grain/spots are Digital Artifacts only - are not actually present
on these LP Covers / labels / vinyl themselves at all  - and DO NOT properly represent the true condition.
My camera simply is not able to resolve fine detail in low light ...especially on the vinyl grooves.

In any such case, please always refer to the written grade and description for accurate condition details.
*some of the vinyl is appearing like unearthed ancient archeological artifacts or mars-scapes (!)
If this could have been at all avoided it would have been. ...hopefully new camera soon!

Please see my FEEDBACK and bid with complete confidence.

INCREDIBLE U.K. BOX SET of YARDBIRDS CAREER?

...from the earliest recordings with Eric Clapton in 1963, through the Beck Years and into 1966, bookended by early Jimmy Page with The Authentics (a proto-Yardbirds) and the double-threat 2 lead guitar Yardbirds line-up with both Beck and Page in late '66. Each album in its own individual picture sleeve that, where applicable, replicates the original 1960s UK-release LP sleeve. Others, such as "First Recordings", "Odds and Sods" and "Shapes Of Things" itself, compile unreleased earliest sessions, outtakes, Rare B-sides and live (at the Crawdaddy Club), with sleeves unique to this set.

Very cool 36 Page Booklet full of pictures and press clippings from the mid-sixties chronicle the rise, heyday and various personnel changes, etc. of the Yardbirds - from the pages of Melody Maker, New Musical Express and various other press of the day. ALL of the material (Master Tapes, clippings, data, et. al.) came from long-time Yardbirds manager/producer, Giorgio Gomelsky.

This is a great set for both the rabid, long-time Yardbirds fan and anybody newly coming to their work, ready for a tsunami of formative Clapton, Beck and Page to descend upon their heads, with the full retinue of Keith Relf, Paul Samwell-Smith, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty.

Once this box set came into my possession, I added anti-static inner sleeves to protect the vinyl. All vinyl is now double-sleeved.

Each LP also in additional Mylar 'flap-seal, clear protective outer sleeve
Box Set kept in a protective, oversize poly outer-sleeve
(see LAST Photo)
