THE GREATIST RECORDINGS OF ALL TIME

18."SHAPES OF THINGS-THE YARDBYRDS



"SHAPES OF THINGS" CAME OUT YEARS AHEAD OF IT'S

TIME.IT SEEMED TO DEFY THE ORDINARY LIMITATIONS

OF POP/ROCK MUSIC IN EVERY CONCIEVABLE WAY.IT

WAS A SONG THAT QUESTIONED EVERYTHING ! WILL

TIME MAKE MAN MORE WISE? WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW.

THE QUESTION CAUGHT US OFF GUARD AND SO GRABBED

OUR ATTENTION.

THAT ATTENTION WAS THEN EXPOSED TO THE MOST

MIND-BLOWING GUITAR SOLO ANYONE HAD EVER HEARD.

FILLED WITH DISTORTION AND FEEDBACK JEFF BECK REELED

OFF A MODAL SCALE OF NOTES SO UNIQUE AND PERFECT

-ALL YOU COULD DO WAS SAY WOW ! AND WAIT FOR THE

NEXT TIME IT GOT PLAYED.
