Garage Rock Radio News And Reviews from June 2003

June 29, 2003 shows - This weeks Fav is "Heart Full of Soul" by the Yardbirds. You've probably heard this on the local oldies station, but if you haven't already, you should get your hands on as much of their material as you can! In just a few years, they had 3 of the best guitarists in the band. First it was Jeff Beck, then Eric Clapton and finally Jimmy Page. Before this, Page was working as a session guitarist, appearing on most of the big British Invasion records as well as some US hits such as "Valerie" by The Monkees. I've been told by a reputable source that it was Page playing the guitar breaks in The Kinks "You Really Got Me" and "All Day and All of the Night". After the band splintered in 1968, Page continued to satisfy Yardbirds contractual obligations, adding new members and appearing first as The New Yardbirds and then as Led Zeppelin! OK, now the bad news... This song is from the Underground Garage archive, which streams at 20k which is really crappy quality!
