"As historical rock documents go, there are few quite as significant as this. These 18 tracks, spread across two discs, capture the final four-piece Jimmy Page-led line-up of The Yardbirds in performance and studio experimentation, as the 24-year-old guitarist coaxed drummer Jim McCarty, bassist Chris Dreja and vocalist Keith Relf toward a musical vision he'd ultimately only realise with Led Zeppelin. In many ways, this is Zeppelin lite - and, arguably, the better for it".

"Disc one contains the ten tunes recorded live, the big difference from previous releases, official and bootleg alike, is that the audience applause that Epic saw fit to overdub the tracks with, has been removed, resulting in a run time of some four minutes less, but making for a much more enjoyable experience by the listener. Beyond that, the sound has been produced by Jimmy Page, mixed by Drew Griffiths and mastered by John Davis from the master tapes, improving the sound quality infinitely. In fact, the sound improvement is so dramatic that it is truly hard to believe they are the same takes included on "Live Yardbirds." ... A wonderful package all around, "Yardbirds '68'" certainly is mandatory for all Yardbirds fans and fans of mod rock in general".
