Goldmine, May 22, 1998
Greg Russo's brief is to detail the recordings as (and why) they happened, and to tell The Yardbirds' story in a way that makes sense of the convolutions of their discography - and beyond. A wealth of great band photographs is echoed by a collector's paradise of record sleeves and press adverts. If you care about The Yardbirds, go out and buy the records, because that is what "The Ultimate Rave-Up" will make you want to do.
Electric Magic, January 1998
