Free Music Review: For Dirt Poor Birds
Hit: 4 Stars
Obtaining this collection is a matter of desperation. Wanting a stocking stuffer I could afford for Christmas, I didn't want to pass this C.D. up. Looking over the other reviews, people either object to the band or the skimpy selection. I was afraid the sound quality would be substandard, but no one was amiss about that.
For the uninitiated, The Yardbirds were on the leading edge of electronic reverberation during the British Invasion. Often taking credit for the feedback, either The Beatles with "I Feel Fine" or The Kinks' for their "Wall of Sound," The Yardbirds, nonetheless, took the razor's edge much farther in 1966 with their wonderfully enveloping hit singles "Shapes of Things" and "For Your Love". Having extremely talented personnel, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, this band allegedly disbanded after their appearance on the celluloid classic 'Blow Up,' a wonderfully satiric look at the sixties' generation. Being associated with the alleged "put down" along with other crises, the band disbanded.
For those with more farthings, (Okay, I date myself-Euros) any other collection would be more desirable. Especially with gems like "Good Morning, Little Schoolgirl," "I'm a Man," and "A Certain Girl" missing from this C.D., you can't go wrong looking elsewhere.
The results? I'm quite happy being able to possess the aforementioned double duo with "Evil Hearted You" and "Smokestack Lightning," but I must also report that the sound isn't what a good "Remastered Version" could muster. With nothing else to compare, I can only share that either in the C.D. player or in the MP3 player, the sound is barely any good compared to most oldies' recordings. (Sam Cooke comes to mind.) Nevertheless, for the price, maybe the rough sound goes well with the memories which come rushing back to me. It's like revisiting old friends.
(For a fine alternate work, please see Steven A. Peterson's review of Ultimate! by The Yardbirds.)
