"Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" is a 1966 song by the English rock band the Yardbirds. It encompasses the musical genres psychedelic rock,[1] psychedelic pop,[2] and has been described as a prototype of heavy metal music.[3] With special effects and dual lead guitars by Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, it was considered groundbreaking for the time. However, it only made a modest showing in the record charts and ended the group's six Top 20 singles run in the UK and US

Recording

The Yardbirds recorded "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" after the sessions for Yardbirds (also known as Roger the Engineer (UK) and Over Under Sideways Down (US)). Paul Samwell-Smith, founding member and bassist, left the group in June 1966 to pursue record production full-time and was initially replaced by studio guitarist Jimmy Page.

However, by "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", Page joined Jeff Beck as a co-lead guitarist. Rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja switched to bass, although for the recording session musician John Paul Jones plays bass. Beck, Page, and Jones had recorded earlier together for "Beck's Bolero" in May 1966.

Charts and reception

"Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" reached number 30 on Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US and number 43 in the UK Single Chart.[4] In a song review for AllMusic, Matthew Greenwald describes "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" as {{quote|Led by a dark, Middle Eastern/psychedelic guitar riff, the song is quickly transformed into a frenetic, almost psychopathic rhythm, giving the whole affair a weird and powerful atmosphere. The idea of going back and forwards into time is paramount here, and was certainly one with the overall psychedelic ambience of the time.[4]}}

He adds it is "One of the greatest, lost singles from the 1966/1967 era{{nbsp}}... this very progressive record was somewhat lost in the shuffle."[4] The song appears at number three in Record Collector’s chronological list of the "100 Greatest Psychedelic Records".

Picture sleeve and label

As with previous Epic releases, "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" releases include several errors. The American picture sleeve, featuring Beck and Page in the photo, only coincides with the A-side of the Epic single. The B-side, "The Nazz Are Blue", features the pre-Page lineup with Paul Samwell-Smith, as well as a rare lead vocal by Beck.[4] The UK single's B-side "Psycho Daisies" similarly features the earlier line-up and vocals by Beck.[4] Additionally, the sheet music erroneously used the same pre-Beck group photo with Eric Clapton that was also mistakenly used for the US single picture sleeve for "Heart Full of Soul".

Additional mistakes were made with the songwriter credits:

  • The American single label lists the songwriters as "C. Drega, K. Relf, P. Samwell-Smith, J. McCarthy, J. Beck".
  • The original The Yardbirds Greatest Hits (1967) (the song's first appearance on an album) lists "K. Relf, J. McCarthy, G. Beck, J. Page".

The comprehensive career retrospective, Ultimate! (2001) lists Relf, Beck, Page, and McCarty,[5] as does ASCAP.[6]

Cover versions

This song was covered by Todd Rundgren in 1976 on his album Faithful and by John Corabi and Mick Mars in 1996 on Jeffology: A Guitar Chronicle, a tribute to Jeff Beck.
