A killer sounding mono CD for debatably the best Yardbirds album. Even though the audio is brick-walled to some extent, the quality of the masters make up for it. The CD is comparable to the original 60's mono pressing, which in of itself is the best way to experience the Having A Rave Up on vinyl. The former sounds brighter.

The guitars rip like paper and the bass is extremely powerful, with clarity and presence. The bells from Still I'm Sad sound absolutely amazing. Likewise, the bonus tracks are very much desirable which come from the Train Kept-A-Rollin' boxset, years prior.

Likewise, I would even go as far as to say that it's better than the alternative Oldays CD. That one lacks much of the vibrancy that this CD excels at. This may be because the Repertoire CD is created from the actual tapes, while the Oldays CD is made from scratch via a needle-drop. Given that Oldays reissues occur when the Japanese copyright expires, they are unfortunately not able to use the tapes during the mastering process.

Until, unsurprisingly, when Having A Rave Up gets rereleased within the decade or so, get this CD if you want to experience some of the best of classic rock from the period; even if it commands high prices.
