Sometimes the tracks were resequenced and the cover art was updated with photos of the later period Yardbirds. Questions over the ownership of the master tapes and the rights to authorize their release has led to many competing and overlapping albums. Beginning in 1981, Lippmann and Rau began releasing other material recorded around the same time. These albums sometimes included various combinations of additional recordings with Williamson, the Yardbirds' December 8, 1963, solo set, and early group demos. In 1984, Gomelsky released the first of several box sets by the group, Shapes of Things, which also combined these tracks. New albums continue to appear, sometimes packaged with recordings of Williamson backed by the Animals on December 30, 1963, and with Jimmy Page and Brian Auger in January 1965.
