This weeks classic rock album began the show in fine style: The Yardbirds -- Roger the Engineer. We played the US reissue on Epic from 1983, as it neatly compiles all of the different tracks from the US and UK releases from the Summer of 1966. '66? Yes, these boys were way ahead of their time. The Reissue also throws in the single 'Happenings Ten Years Time Ago' and it's B-Side 'Psycho Daisies', which are notable for being one of the earliest (some would say the first) psychedelic singles, and featuring Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in twin guitar mode! Phew!

Here's some rare footage of the group with Page and Beck (hilariously, Page is playing bass here) from a show in France in 1966 before Beck jumped ship, leading eventually to the spawning of the beast we call Led Zeppelin.

Terry Reid passed up the chance to be lead singer in Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. However, he shouldn't feel like he made the wrong choices in his career, as he received the ultimate accolade this year: 40 years after its release, we played his second LP as a Classic Rock Album on Stonehenge!

This show was pre-recorded, in case you were wondering why we weren't answering the phone...

The Classic Album of the Week was the amazing self-titled debut LP from Hawkwind (1970). This LP demonstrates that Dave Brock and his crew were already nearly fully formed as songwriters and psychedelic warriors at the turn of the decade. It's a white hot LP full of para-noise and smoking guitar from Huw Lloyd-Langton, recorded live in the studio and produced by Pretty Things guitarist Dick Taylor.
