BBC Sessions (The Yardbirds album)

The Yardbirds Live at the BBC compiles 26 song recordings made for broadcast from eight different sessions between 1965 and 1968. All the songs feature either Jeff Beck (1965–1966) or Jimmy Page (1967–1968) on guitar. Eric Clapton left the group shortly before the first recording session represented on this CD.
