Little Games

Little Games is an album by English blues rock band The Yardbirds, released in July 1967. Successful singles producer Mickie Most was called in to assist The Yardbirds but expectations of this release turning the commercial fortunes of the band around, were misplaced. The group disbanded in 1968.

Jimmy Page used his guitar-bowing technique on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor" and "Glimpses". The album peaked at #80 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. The album title track is the first of several tracks that producer Mickie Most would exempt Jim McCarty from participating in. McCarty was unable to participate full-time due to illness and was replaced by Clem Cattini (uncredited). Chris Dreja was also unavailable for many of the sessions and was replaced by John Paul Jones (uncredited).

1992 Expanded edition An expanded Little Games edition entitled Little Games Sessions and More, was released as a 2 disc set featuring additional sessions and alternate takes from the period, plus the singles "Ha Ha Said the Clown", "Ten Little Indians", and "Goodnight Sweet Josephine".
