I found this one at a yard sale and have to admit I was puzzled by the apparent concept. Why the pretty, but odd postcard nature picture? Apparently no reason other than it was a cheap to use photo ... the back cover even carries this odd little statement "The illustrations are a commercial concept for this album. Therefore we are unable to say that the illustrations represent a completely accurate presentation of the recording artist as he has or does now appear."
Released by the small Tennessee based Koala Records, this 1980 set may or may not have much legitimacy. Musically "I Ain't Done No Wrong" certainly isn't the most insightful Beck/Yardbirds retrospective. The ten tracks feature a mix of Beck originals, Yardbirds tunes and blues covers. If nothing else, it gives you an abbreviated overview of the band's broad scope, covering everything from blues, to pop and psychedelia. Wish I knew more about this one ...
