Keith Relf (vocalist, The Yardbirds) : Graham Gouldman, who is with The Mockingbirds, a group in Manchester, heard us play one night and went away and wrote For Your Love for us. He sent the number to us on a demo disc and we liked it right away. We arranged it in our own way, of course, before going into the studious. The whole session - recording, re-recording, balance etc - was completed in about three hours.
