==Background==
The Yardbirds' debut album in December 1964 had been a live release appropriately titled ''[[Five Live Yardbirds]]''. With the arrival of Jeff Beck in the group in March 1965, a series of popular and innovative hit singles established the group as a major [[British Invasion]] act, with extensive touring in the United States. Anticipation for the group's first studio LP was high, although it wasn't until March 1966 that they entered [[Advision Studios]] in London to attempt initial recordings.<ref name=crazy/> Ten instrumental tracks were laid down with working titles like "Someone To Love" (renamed "Lost Women"), "Pounds and Stomps" (an early "He's Always There"), "Jeff's Blues" (renamed "The Nazz Are Blue"), "Like Jimmy Reed Again", "Chris' Number", "Crimson Curtain", and "What Do You Want" with the provisional album title ''An Eye View of Beat''. Before vocals and other overdubs could be added, the sessions were scrapped when the group switched managers from [[Giorgio Gomelsky]] to [[Simon Napier-Bell]].<ref name=crazy/> Most of these aborted tracks would be released on later Gomelsky archival compilations.
