Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released during the guitarist's severe, multi-year withdrawal from the music industry, this double-album perfectly summarizes his restless, prolific journey through the 1960s. By compiling his legendary stints with The Yardbirds, John Mayall, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos, it solidified his status as an unparalleled guitar god.
