From OP: First single released by the band in May 1964, but it did not chart. It was later released on the Yardbirds' first American album, For Your Love, which reached #96 on Billboard's Top LPs chart in 1965. I would not be destined to find the song some years later as a gift on Christmas Eve, 1970 as a track on the double album, The Yardbirds Featuring Performances by Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page. An excellent anthology, by the way, which includes "White Summer" by Jimmy Page which I was actually able to learn and play on acoustic guitar.
Scenes from some fine period films to go with "I Wish You Would" on the video.
