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.
