Released 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 R&B bands were pushing toward psychedelia, it captured the band in transition from their blues-club roots to a new, experimental sound driven by Jeff Beck's 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. For its 60th anniversary in 2026, Demon are delighted to present the album as a limited-edition box set, comprising six coloured-vinyl 7-inch singles in gatefold wallets. It includes song lyrics, contemporary photographs and artwork elements of both the original U.S. and UK releases, spotlighting Chris Dreja's instantly recognisable 'Roger' cartoons.
