Given the nature of Yardbirds reissues, I'm not holding my breath for great sound quality. The band owns the Roger the Engineer material and that's from good quality tapes, and EMI controls the Little Games era material and those reissues sound fine. I'd like to get their early/prime era material in better quality; not much is from master tapes right now, and that apparently won't change anytime soon.
 
This set features I'm A Man 9 times , I Wish You Would 8 times , Train Kept A-Rollin' 5 times , You're A Better Man Than I 5 times , which translates to 1 of the 5 cd's is filled with four songs . Who needs this ?
