Collection
of late 60's recordings (pre-Led Zeppelin) of Jimmy Page, Includes
guest musicians Albert Lee, John Paul Jones and Nicky Hopkins. This CD
will be of interest to more serious Led Zeppelin fans as it brings JPJ
and Page together for the first time, and the team-up of blues legend
Albert Lee with Jimmy is indicated for the faithful. More casual fans
can give it a pass, there's very little on display here by Mr. Page that
indicates the "Shapes Of Things" to come, but it gives props to Mr.
Page's blues chops. Those looking to hear clearer precursors to Led
Zeppelin are directed to the Yardbirds "Where The Action Is" and/or
"Live Yardbirds! Featuring Jimmy Page" instead.

Finally
they re-released this old gem filled with some of the finest early
Rock'n Roll / Rhythm 'n Blues to ever come from that side of the pond.
The album flows perfectly fine, soundquality is excellent, composition
are strong and the playing is top notch ! No surprise when you know who
played on these songs - the best studio cracks of the times among them
Nicky Hopkins on piano, Jimmy Page or Albert Lee on Lead guitars and
John Paul Jones on bass .
Some of the finest standars have been
chosen for this recording and it is indeed lots of fun hearing these
rare gems today - good time music. Wonder if someone knew about this
album from back in the days ? This is too good to ignore...
