Jeff Beck replaced Eric Clapton as the lead guitarist for the Yadrbirds in the spring of 1965. The group released Heart Full of Soul in the summer of that year. It featured Jeff’s signature guitar work. I was hooked and have been a fan ever since. At my suggestion HPL has recently added 5 Jeff Beck cd’s to their collection. These are some of Jeff’s better efforts, with Wired and Blow by Blow probably the two best.
