Well, these are legends here, or at least legends in the making. Keith Relf and Jim McCarty went on to form Renaissance and no points for guessing which supergroup Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (who sessioned here) were a part of. The years have been kind to the album; fans wanted more Yardbirds and, in 1992, a two-CD set - The Little Games Sessions And More - was released. The tracks on this bootleg  are rough mixes which were made during the compiling of that EMI 2-CD set.

As the recordings are very nice on thereselves I would not have posted them here if tracks 117 to 128 weren't the Ten Little Indians takes. Ten Little Indians was written by Harry Nilsson.
