The Yardbirds Story

The Yardbirds Story, originally released as Train Kept A-Rollin' – The Complete Giorgio Gomelsky Productions, is a 90-track CD box set compilation of all of the known Yardbirds recordings from 1963 to 1966 (before "Yardbirds" a.k.a. "Roger the Engineer"/Over Under Sideways Down), including all of the band's singles and flip-sides, previously unreleased 1963–64 demos, live recordings, and alternate takes. The music is assembled Bear Family Records-style, in chronological recording date order. It contains all of the Eric Clapton Yardbird tracks and everything Jeff Beck contributed to up until Roger the Engineer. It's also augmented by a pair of 1967 live tracks with Jimmy Page in the lineup.
