Offered is a 1964 Yardbirds Performance Contract from the Eric Clapton Era with the Band. Original lead guitarist Top Topham left and was replaced by Eric Clapton in October 1963. Crawdaddy Club impresario Giorgio Gomelsky (who signed this October 1964 agreement) became their manager and first record producer. Under Gomelsky's guidance, the Yardbirds toured Britain as the back-up band for blues legend Sonny Boy Williamson II in December 1963 and early 1964. Recordings from those performances were released two years later during the height of Yardbird popularity on the album Sonny Boy Williamson and the Yardbirds. "For Your Love" was a Top 10 hit in the UK, Canada, and the US in early 1965, but it displeased Clapton, a blues purist whose vision extended beyond three-minute singles. Frustrated by their commercial approach, he abruptly left the band in March 1965, shortly after the single was released. Near Mint condition.
