" Jeff Beck's roots were probably in R&B because he'd been with The Yardbirds. We had an association with The Yardbirds and Jeff said 'I can't work with them any more (he was always falling out with them), and 'I wanna be a pop star"
"I said 'I've got a pop song called Hi Ho SIlver Lining. Can you sing? He said 'Not very well'. None of the rest could sing so we went in the studio and recorded it."
"A bit of fun and the record became a bit of a legend record. You go to a disco and everyone wants Hi Ho SIlver Lining
(cue the record with the reverse guitar intro)

Apart from 'Shapes of Things' Jeff rather passed me by - has anyone any suggestions on where to start looking back at his material (not keen on absolute shrieking guitar madness though).
Blow by Blow maybe?
Mike
