Little Games

Little Games is an album by The Yardbirds, released by Epic Records[?] on July 24, 1966. Successful singles producer Mickie Most was called in to assist The Yardbirds but the resultant album proved artistically uneven. It was The Yardbirds final album before the group disbanded in 1968. Jimmy Page uses his guitar bowing technique on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor" and "Glimpses"

The album was #51 on debut on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
