Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Little Games is the fourth studio album by The Yardbirds, released in 1967. It is their only studio album to feature Jimmy Page, their first album without Paul Samwell-Smith and Jeff Beck, and their final studio album to feature Keith Relf. It is also their final studio album released before their break-up the following year, with their next studio album - Birdland - being released 36 years later. Produced by Mickie Most, Little Games is seen as an attempt to revitalise the band's popularity, which had been in decline for a while by then. As a result, the majority of the album is not seen as representative of the band's live sound, and Most has been largely blamed as a catalyst for the band's break-up the following year.Upon release, the album was only released in the US, as the self-titled lead single failed to chart in the UK. Little Games ultimately failed in saving the band's declining commercial fortunes, as did the subsequent non-album singles. To this day, the album receives strong mixed reviews, with some viewing the album as a psychedelic pop masterpiece, and others viewing it as the band's nadir. To sum it up, Little Games is The Yardbirds' Smiley Smile. Interesting to note is that the band themselves have since expressed their dislike for this album, particularly Jimmy Page, who described the album as "horrible".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Fan favourites include the title track, "White Summer", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor", "Glimpses" and "Drinking Muddy Water". | |

New Sound Album | |
| Little Games (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: At least compared to Roger the Engineer, this album leans more towards psychedelic pop, as well as folk influences. No doubt the result of major line-up changes in 1966 as well as their collaboration with producer Mickie Most. | |

World Music: "White Summer" has an Eastern music sound, exemplified by an oboe and an Indian-percussion tabla. During "Glimpses" a sitar plays. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Little Games (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Drinking Muddy Water" is a fairly obvious reference to Muddy Waters. Rather fitting, considering that it's essentially a reworking of his song "Rollin' And Tumblin'". | |

Cover Version | |
| Little Games (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: "Drinking Muddy Water" is a cover of the Muddy Waters song "Rollin' And Tumblin'" in all but name and credits. "Smile On Me" is a re-working of Howlin' Wolf's "Shake For Me". "Stealing Stealing" is a blues song originally by Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers. Furthermore, "Little Games" and "No Excess Baggage" were written by outside songwriters. | |

The Show Must Go Wrong | |
| Little Games (Music) / int_e3edc213 | comment |
The Show Must Go Wrong: The original LP misspelled Chris Dreja's name as "Ereja". Not the first time to happen to Dreja, as the US version of Over Under Sideways Down misspells his name as "Drega", as well as McCarty's name as "McCarthy". | |
