Background: Little Games, released in July 1967, was the final album by the Yardbirds. The LP was originally released only in the United States, and sold rather poorly, reaching #80 on the U.S. album charts.
Little Games was the band’s only studio LP recorded with Jimmy Page on guitar.
Allmusic.com gave Little Games a 3 star review:
It’s a dreadfully unfashionable thing to say, but the day producer Mickie Most moved in on the Yardbirds was the day the Yardbirds’ own values moved out. The union was a lousy idea from the start. By 1966-1967, the Yardbirds had developed into quite an excellent experimental rock combo, marred only by an appalling lack of self-belief. Most, on the other hand, was pure pop personified — marred only by a monumental lack of taste. And when those two attributes collided, listeners got Little Games, the final Yardbirds album. Surprisingly, it really wasn’t a bad record. Plentiful outtakes from the sessions have surfaced, both officially and otherwise, theoretically rendering this particular package redundant.
