51 | !! Heart Full of Tropes: |
52 | |
53 | * CoverAlbum: Much like ''Music/ForYourLove'', every song (bar one) are either covers or songs written by outsider songwriters. The sole exception is "Still I'm Sad", written by Paul Samwell-Smith and Jim [=McCarty=]. |
54 | * FaceOnTheCover: The band is seen on the cover, performing. |
55 | * GenreRoulette: You've got your BluesRock (Predominately on Side Two), your proto-Psychedelia and Hard Rock (The Jeff Beck tracks), and Georgian chants ("Still I'm Sad")... |
56 | * LiveAlbum: The final four tracks are all live, taken from ''Music/FiveLiveYardbirds''. |
57 | * NonAppearingTitle: The album title doesn't appear in any of the lyrics. |
58 | * OneWordTitle: "Respectable". |
59 | * ProtestSong: "You're A Better Man Than I", written as a TakeThat to prejudiced people who will base their opinion on somebody's appearance rather than his character. |
60 | * SomethingBlues: The bonus track "Jeff's Blues". |
61 | * StepUpToTheMicrophone: The band's then-manager/producer Giorgio Gomelsky provides the prominent bass vocals to "Still I'm Sad". |
62 | * PsychedelicRock: More like proto-psychedelia. In any case, one of the - if not THE - earliest examples of it. |
63 | * SarcasticTitle: The ProtestSong "You're A Better Man Than I" |
64 | --> ''Can you judge a man by the way he wears his hair?'' |
65 | --> ''Can you read his mind by the clothes that he wears?'' |
66 | --> ''Can you see a bad man by the pattern on his tie?'' |
67 | --> ''Then mister, you're a better man than I'' |
68 | * [[SharpDressedMan Sharp Dressed Band]]: Come on, look at that album cover. |
69 | * WhiteVoidRoom: The Yardbirds are performing in one, on the album cover. |
