Love the single sleeves - but I wish they were slowed down a bit - they go by too fast to fully appreciate them.

I'll make another video or 2 with the singles going by slower.

Every place I've looked about the story behind this song, and the Yardbirds recording this, I turn up empty. You sure this is the Yardbirds?

You looked here!

It is the Yardbirds.

Look for the whole story in the Cumular Limit booklet.

this is definitely the Yardbirds. unfortunately, it's only available on the long out of print "Cumular Limit". Nowadays the CD goes about $50-$100 used. However, I found mine from some online Asian store for $20 new (Monitor Records if anyone was curious, they might have some other copies), so if you try hard enough, you may be able to find it.

thank Relf I kept mine. Got it about 7 years ago on eBay for about $20 with s&h.

@Zeitgeist74 Recorded April 5, 1968 in New York during The Yardbirds' final studio session. "Avron" was the name of a guy that the band met while on tour in Florida, and he inspired the band to write this song about him. This features both Keith Relf and Jim McCarty on vocals.
