Far Out describes the London music scene as "tight-knit" during the 1960s. Among those creatives rubbing elbows were Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Clapton and Page were both members of The Yardbirds, but not at the same time. Clapton and Page had jam sessions together, even making some blues recordings. Their tapes caught the attention of Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Page had done some work with The Bluesbreakers under the record label that Oldham owned.
