Jimmy Page

Wailing Sounds Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page needs little introduction - England's number #1 session player in the sixties, major component of The Yardbirds, driving force of the world's heaviest and, some would say, best band - Led Zeppelin. Jimmy was of course used to playing in exalted company during the sixties and was a close cohort of the extraordinary David 'Screaming Lord' Sutch, one of Britain's more flamboyant performers. In 1970 he recorded Lord Sutch & Heavy Friends, replicated in its entirety here and featuring a who's-who of rock royalty - fellow Led Zeps John Paul Jones and John Bonham, guitar genius Jeff Beck, Noel Redding on bass and Nicky Hopkins on piano: a gloriously insane jam session that has achieved legendary status. Also included are six tracks from the 1968 sessions for Keith De Groot's debut album, with Page and John Paul Jones among the backing musicians. A fascinating precursor to Zeppelin and highly collectable material. Music Ave.
