Greatest Hits (greyscale cover)

~ Release by The Yardbirds (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

This set was noted for being released with all 3 albums in a single dust cover. An earlier 2 album set was added to with the 3rd disk being an off white colour before this set was released with all albums having the same colour. A later box set was released in 1983 with the cover in colour and all sets appear to be issued with the same release number.
