Our Take

The Yardbirds' "Roger the Engineer" (Stereo Mix) on Transparent Red Vinyl is a psychedelic trip down memory lane, taking listeners on a sonic journey that's as colourful as the vinyl it's pressed on. From the opening chords of "Lost Woman" to the infectious groove of "Over Under Sideways Down," this album is a treasure trove of 60s rock brilliance.

Guitar wizardry is the name of the game here, with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page both flexing their six-string muscles throughout the record. The interplay between the two is electric, creating a sound that's at once frenetic and controlled. Songs like "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" showcase their virtuosity, with Beck's wild soloing taking centre stage.

But it's not all about the guitars. Keith Relf's distinctive vocals add a layer of bluesy swagger to tracks like "Turn into Earth" and "I Can't Make Your Way." His raspy delivery is the perfect foil to the band's intricate instrumental arrangements.

And let's not forget the production – the stereo mix on this release is a revelation, bringing out new layers and textures in the music that were previously unheard. It's like listening to the album for the first time all over again.

In conclusion, "Roger the Engineer" (Stereo Mix) on Transparent Red Vinyl is a must-have for any fan of classic rock. With its stellar musicianship, catchy hooks, and top-notch production, it's a joy to listen to from start to finish. Don't miss out on this gem from one of the most underrated bands of the 60s.
