Glimpses 1963–1968


Glimpses 1963–1968 is a 5-CD compilation boxed set by English rock group the Yardbirds. It contains various live and demo recordings interspersed with interviews with group members. Released on 5 December 2011 by Easy Action Recordings, the album was compiled by group biographer Greg Russo with the Yardbirds' approval.

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in a review for AllMusic, gave the album four out of five stars and wrote:
In a review for Record Collector magazine, Kris Needs noted, "This lovingly-compiled, feverishly hyperactive set might include five different versions of some songs, but it’s fascinating to hear the band’s rampant evolution as musical trends catch up with them and they strive for the next phase."
