The
Yardbirds were trailblazers in the rapid development of pop music in Britain
between 1963 and 1968. With members including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and
Jimmy Page, they helped to set the basic template of what has been known ever
since as rock music, and gave rise to one of the most commercially successful
bands of all time: Led Zeppelin. Peter Stanfield situates the band in the
rise of British R&B and the tumult of the psychedelic era. Obsessively
detailed about both the band and 1960s pop culture, this is the book fans of
The Yardbirds have always needed.
Peter
Stanfield is Emeritus Professor of Film at the University of Kent. His
publications include A Band with Built-In Hate: The Who from Pop Art
to Punk and Pin-Ups 1972: Third Generation Rock ’n’
Roll, both published by Reaktion Books.
