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...
