Over, Under, Sideways, Down Colour 6-Disc 7" Boxset Boxset

The seminal 1966 classic as a limited edition 60th anniversary set of six 7 singlesReleased in 1966 as Over, Under, Sideways, Down in the U.S., and The Yardbirds in the UK and widely known as Roger The Engineer ever since Over, Under, Sideways, Down was The Yardbirds only studio album of entirely original material.Recorded in London at a moment when British RampB bands were pushing toward psychedelia, it captured the band in transition from their bluesclub roots to a new, experimental sound driven by Jeff Becks groundbreaking guitar work. Songs like Over Under Sideways Down and The Nazz Are Blue mixed blues energy with distortion, Eastern scales, and unusual time signatures, defining the sound that would later feed into both hard rock and psychedelia.Becks use of feedback, sustain, and fuzz effects gave tracks a sense of invention that influenced everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, while songs like Hot House of Omagararshid and Hes Always There were full of studio experimentation courtesy of Paul SamwellSmiths tape loops, droning guitars, and haunting harmonies. It was all delivered with the restless energy that made The Yardbirds one of Britains most innovative mid60s bands and the combination of pioneering production, Keith Relfs eerie vocals, Becks sonic daring, and the driving rhythms of Chris Dreja rhythm guitar, SamwellSmith bass and Jim McCarty drums, made it a milestone in rocks evolution. Critics have subsequently come to view it as the bands greatest achievement and a snapshot of that 1960s moment when pop became pop art.For its 60th anniversary in 2026, Demon are delighted to present the album as a limited edition box set, comprising six colouredvinyl 7 singles in gatefold wallets. It includes song lyrics, contemporary photographs and artwork elements of both the original U.S. and UK releases, spotlighting Chris Drejas instantly recognizable Roger cartoons.
