Little Games is an album by British blues rock band The Yardbirds, released in 1967 (see 1967 in music). Successful singles producer Mickie Most was called in to assist The Yardbirds but the resultant album proved artistically uneven. It was The Yardbirds final album before the group disbanded in 1968. Jimmy Page used his guitar bowing technique on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor" and "Glimpses"
The album was #51 on debut on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
