Note: Recorded live at The Anderson Theatre, New York, Mar 30, 1968 (with audience sounds dubbed in from a bull fight—not kidding).
Album was withdrawn within weeks of release. Read why .
In 2017, the thieving magpie discovered the raw tapes and remixed the album for CD issue as "Yardbirds 68" (see 2nd note).
Unfortunately, he took out most of Keith's inter-song patter. Does have an amazing booklet and some demo tracks.
 

Bootlegs Complete Collections Bootleg recordings have been around since the 40s, when opera buffs began recording their favorites to share. By the late 60s, boots were a main part of rock record collecting. Most featured less than stellar audience-recorded live performances, whilst others concentrated on gathering up old 45s and album tracks. I got mine at The OmThe Ommmmm in Nanuet NY (now a day-care center). We've included some of the famous ones (Beatles, Stones, Dylan). Now it's The Yardbirds turn. Golden Eggs features b-sides, UK 45s and other items (some solo by Keith Relf) and a great cover art by William Stout . The back featured an abbreviated family tree by Pete Frame . Trademark Of Quality boots were the best. TMQ later released a follow-up, More Golden Eggs.
