Info for Little Games (Stereo)
By the time Jeff Beck left the Yardbirds in late 1966, the group was down to a four-piece, with former session-man Jimmy Page left to handle the guitar duties. As the group disintegrated over the next year and a half, Page would end up taking the remnants of this group and turning it into Led Zeppelin.
This two-disc set includes „Little Games“, the final Yardbirds project, as well as outtakes, and a few singles by Together, a group featuring Jim McCarty and Keith Relf. Despite the commercial problems facing the Yardbirds at the time, „Little Games“ showed a good deal of experimentation--with psychedelia ('Glimpses'), social commentary ('Little Soldier Boy') and with the group's beloved blues ('Drinking Muddy Water'). Page's influence resonates throughout, particularly on the acoustic 'White Summer,' which later had parts recycled in the Zeppelin classics 'Over The Hills And Far Away' and 'Black Mountain Side.' The historical importance of 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor' lay in the fact that it was the first time Jimmy Page employed the bowing technique which he became renowned for later in his career.
