About this copy: This copy of Little Games is a 1967 U.S. stereo pressing on the Epic label.
The cover is VG, with moderate ring wear on the front and back cover, but no punch holes or splits.
The disc is VG++ with a couple of faint hairlines and a couple of light sleeve scuffs. It’s a clean disc that has had little play.
A nice play copy of a classic LP.
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.
