Matrix #: SPB-4039

Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Singer Keith Relf never found stable ground after the band and died in 1976 from an accidental electric shock at home.
-
Band Drama This comp catches a famously unstable group: Clapton quit over the pop turn, Beck clashed with the band, and Page passed through before the end.
-
Scene Ecology Few bands fed more future history. The Yardbirds became the launch point for Clapton, Beck, and Page before hard rock fully took shape.
