With international hit singles prompting a frantic tour schedule, the Yardbirds had undergone several line-up changes since their formation – not least the departure of guitarist Eric Clapton in March 1965. In 1966 founder member bassist Paul Samwell-Smith quit to concentrate on production, while guitarist Jeff Beck left later that year. Consequently it was a trimmed down Yardbirds comprising Keith Relf (vocals, harmonica), Jimmy Page (lead guitar), Chris Dreja (bass) and Jim McCarty (drums) who kicked off their Spring 1967 tour of Scandinavia with an eight-song set under the banner Popgäster I Stockholm recorded for Sweden’s national broadcaster SRT. Alongside the hits ‘Heart Full Of Soul’, ‘I’m A Man’ and ‘Shapes Of Things’, the title track from their new album Little Games also features. While honouring their R&B roots, this performance finds the Yardbirds embracing a heavier, more psychedelic vibe typified by ‘Over Under Sideways Down’ – truly the shape of things to come. Repertoire is delighted to present these recordings in pristine sound quality as never before complete with a new essay by Chris Welch. An essential for all Yardbirds fans, this collector’s edition 10” album will be strictly limited. .
