Samwell-Smith left in 1966; Dreja switched to bass and Jimmy Page (guitar) was added. Beck left in December 1966. Group disbanded in July 1968. Page formed the New Yardbirds in October 1968, which evolved into Led Zeppelin. Relf and McCarty formed Renaissance in 1969. Keith Relf later in Amageddon, 1975; Jim McCarty in Illusion, 1977. The Yardbirds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

-The Yardbirds released nine classic Top 100 singles between 1965-1967 which were: For Your Love (1965), Heart Full Of Soul, (1965) I'm A Man, (1965), Shapes Of Things (1966), Over Under Sideways Down (1966), Happenings Ten Years Time Ago (1966), Little Games (1967), Ha Ha Said The Clown (1967) and Ten Little Indians (1967). All are worth tracking down, especially collectors' of authentic British rock.

-Titles: Shapes Of Things / I'm Not Talking

-Shapes Of Things  was The Yardbirds fourth Billboard Top 100. Classic British rock at its very best!

-I'm Not Talking was the original flip side of this Canadian release.

-In the United States, Shapes Of Things was originally released in 1966 on Epic 9891 with I'm Not Talking as the B-side, then Epic re-released it later in 1966 on Epic 10006 with New York City Blues as the B-side and it is that version which charted on Billboard at # 11.

-Label:  Canadian Capitol 72349

-Released in The United States on Epic 9891 and also Epic 10006, see note above regarding the two different Epic releases.

For every ten Epic 45's pressed in the U.S., there was only one Canadian Capitol 45 pressed in Canada. The Canadian Capitol Record Label is very collectible today.

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwheming.
