Although it was recorded a year earlier, this album was released after their official first major label album, Stink.

The first Downchild album was recorded at Rochdale College in Toronto in a make-shift studio. It was one of the first truly independent record releases in Canada at the time.
Donnie Walsh and others distributed the album by hand. It was also welcomed by major Toronto music retailer Sam Sniderman of Sam the Record Man renown, who was very much disposed to promoting Canadian music. The record was soon acquired by RCA Records Canada for more general distribution in 1976

Produced by Don Meehan & Buddy Graham – 1971
Recorded at Anderson Theatre, New York City, 30 March 1968

A live album with fake audience: CBS/Epic Records overdubbed crowd noises from bullfights and other sound effects onto the original tracks against the band's wishes, The Yardbirds rejected the album as a candidate for release upon its original completion in mid-1968, but Epic released it in 1971 in response to Led Zeppelin's success. Jimmy Page, who had taken ownership of the Yardbirds name following the band's 1968 dissolution, threatened legal action against the label for releasing Live Yardbirds without authorization and Epic quickly withdrew it. copies of  Live Yardbirds are thus quite rare, and the album has often been counterfeited (sometimes in black-and-white covers claimed to be promotional copies) as a result.

The album was released just as Lightfoot signed with Reprise Records just after the release of If You Could Read My Mind. It was basically just a collection of singles recorded in Nashville in 1962. The photo, taken at Mariposa Folk Festival 1970, made the album look like a new Lightfoot record.  Not the first bootlegged Lightfoot album.
