On this day in 1967, ‘Ten Little Indians’ was released by The Yardbirds, with ‘Drinking Muddy Water’ on the other side.

We did a track called ‘Ten Little Indians’, and in my opinion the only good thing on our version was the backwards echo. Mickie recorded it with brass on a separate overdub section. I thought, well, how are we going to disguise this brass? I know, I’ll use that backwards echo that I tried at home. And it stayed there on this awful song.

However, the backwards echo made a reappearance on Led Zeppelin at the end of ‘You Shook Me’, and on many more Led Zeppelin songs.
