is still available both here in the US and in Europe.

Here's the URL for the 2002 release on Amazon.com:

The Yardbirds, "The Yardbirds Story By Giorgio Gomelsky" (Charly Licensing
Aps, Artistry Music Ltd., Snapper Music plc [SNAB 905 CD], 25 March 2002,
UK, 4 CD box set) - The Yardbirds were one of the world’s most successful
and influential rock groups of the ‘60s. Between 1963 and 1966, Giorgio
Gomelsky, The Rolling Stones’ first manager and a leading figure on the
burgeoning British R&B scene of the day, managed the group. Spread over four
discs, this set contains every released recording the Yardbirds made under
Gomelsky’s mentorship. In addition to several rarities and alternate takes,
it also contains outtakes from two 1966 recording sessions, which give a
fascinating insight into the group’s creative process in the studio. The set
traces the group’s development from Chicago R&B, with Eric Clapton on lead
guitar, to the swaggering, ear-bending psychedelic rock of the Jeff
Beck-fronted line-up. Digitally remastered from the best available audio
sources, housed in deluxe digipak format, and meticulously researched and
compiled by Yardbirds authority Phil Cohen, who contributes his own
track-by-track commentary, the set’s 52-page booklet includes extensive
notes by Giorgio Gomelsky.
