ALBUM NOTES:

The Yardbirds rejected the album as a candidate for release upon its original completion in mid-1968, but Epic released it in 1971 in response to Led Zeppelin's success in the marketplace.[2] Jimmy Page threatened legal action against the label for releasing Live Yardbirds without authorization and Epic quickly withdrew it.[2] Epic parent CBS' Columbia Special Products (CSP) label subsequently reissued the album in 1976, but this was again legally challenged by Page, and the album again quickly withdrawn. Yardbirds' chronicler Gregg Russo notes that

Jimmy Page had Epic Records destroy the masters, parts and lacquers on February 15, 1977. All of the tapes from this concert were "returned to client" (Jimmy Page) in the early '80s.[2]

Authentic Epic and CSP copies of Live Yardbirds are thus quite rare, and the album has often been counterfeited (sometimes in black-and-white covers claimed to be promotional copies) as a result. The album's cover art was designed by James Grashow, a woodcut artist who had earlier created the artwork for Jethro Tull's 1969 album Stand Up.
