THE YARDBIRDS Five Live Yardbirds (Archive Quality 1964 UK first press 10-track mono LP, on the original blue & black Columbia label with machine stamped matrices in the run-outs ending '1N' both sides. Five Live was recorded at the Marquee Club in London & documents the legendary short lived group of Keith Relf, Paul 'Sam' Samwell-Smith, Chris Dreja, Jim McCarty & a then unknown Eric 'Slowhand' Clapton, capturing the birth of the British Blues Rock Renaissance that would go on tosee bands like Cream & Led Zeppelin rule the world. The front laminated flipback picture sleeve appears in spectacular near 'as new' condition, remaining a gorgeous off white with no marks to the laminate. Both sides of the vinyl exhibit a stunning deep sheen & there are no marks on the labels indicating barely any play in its life. The vinyl is Excellent to Near Mint with the very lightest natural cosmetic signs of age wear & minor evidence of just one or two very careful plays in its life. Highly recommended 33SX1677)
