charts In the UK, "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" was released as a single by the Columbia Graphophone Company on 21 October 1966. "Psycho Daisies", a new song recorded during the same sessions, was used for the B-side. It is based on the 1959 Eddie Cochran song "Somethin' Else" and Beck provides the guitar and vocal, with Page on bass, and McCarty on drums. The single peaked at during a five week appearance on the Record Retailer singles chart. On 4 November, Epic Records issued the single in the US, which was coupled with another vocal by Beck, "The Nazz Are Blue", taken from the Yardbirds' 1966 self-titled album (also known as Roger the Engineer (UK) and Over Under Sideways Down (US)). There, it was more successful, reaching on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, during a stay of nine weeks. In Canada, the single reached . The song made its first album appearance in April 1967 on the Epic anthology The Yardbirds Greatest Hits. It was followed in October by the Capitol Canada compilation, The Hits of the Yardbirds, which also includes the song. Because of cross licensing problems, most subsequent anthologies and retrospective Yardbirds albums are limited to pre-Roger the Engineer/Over Under Sideways Down recordings (before April 1966). However, it is included on the 1983 Epic expanded reissue of the 1966 UK album Yardbirds (Roger the Engineer); Beckology, the 1991 Epic/Legacy boxed set featuring Jeff Beck; and Ultimate!, the 2001 comprehensive Yardbirds retrospective by Rhino Entertainment. The first singles and albums often have errors or are incomplete in listing the songwriters: Columbia single (UK): "Yardbirds" (no individual songwriters) Epic single (US): "C. Drega, K. Relf, P. Samwell-Smith, J. McCarthy, J. Beck" Epic album (US): "K. Relf, J. McCarthy, G. Beck, J. Page" Capitol single (Canada): "Dreja, McCarty, Beck, Samwell-Smith" Capitol album (Canada): "Relf, Dreja, McCarty, Beck, Page" For the 1966 US copyright filing, the songwriters are shown as "Keith Relf, James McCarty, Jeff Beck & Jimmy Page". This reflects the four group members who participated in the recording and is consistent with statements by the three survivors. These four also appear in the songwriter credits for Beckology and Ultimate!. Broadcast and concert performances Two days before Columbia issued the single, the Yardbirds were filmed performing "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" for BBC Television. It was broadcast on the music variety programme Top of the Pops on 17 November 1966.
