One
of rock's most gifted and distinctive guitarists,
Page began his professional career during the pre-beat
era of the early 60s. He was a member of several groups,
including Neil Christian's Crusaders and Carter Lewis
And The Southerners, the latter of which was led by
the popular songwriting team Carter And Lewis (John
Carter and Ken Lewis).

Page
played rousing solos on several releases by Carter/Lewis
protégés, notably the McKinleys' "Sweet
And Tender Romance", and the guitarist quickly
became a respected session musician. He appeared on
releases by Lulu, Them, Chris Farlowe, Tom Jones and
Dave Berry, as well as scores of less renowned acts
such as, Wayne Gibson, the Primitives, First Gear,
Gregory Phillips, the Lancastrians, Les Fleur De Lys,
the Factotums, Twice As Much, the Masterminds, the
Fifth Avenue, but his best-known work was undertaken
for producer Shel Talmy. Page appeared on sessions
for the Kinks and the Who, joining an élite
band of young studio musicians who included Nicky
Hopkins, John Paul Jones and Bobby Graham.
The
guitarist completed a solo single, "She Just
Satisfies", in 1965, and although it suggested
a frustration with his journeyman role, he later took
up an A&R position with Immediate Records, where
he produced singles for Nico and John Mayall.

Led
Zeppelin - IV
£6.66

Also
known as the "rune" album because of the medieval
symbols adorning its cover, Led Zeppelin's fourth album,
released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into
giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks like "Black
Dog", "Misty Mountain Hop", and "Rock
and Roll", the combination of Robert Plant's banshee
wails and Jimmy Page's frenetic guitar playing forever
altered the stylistic bent of hard rock music. And the
foreboding "When the Levee Breaks" demonstrated
that Zeppelin could indeed play the blues fairly straight
if they so desired. Still, everything here ultimately
took a back seat to the album's (and, ultimately, the
band's) magnum opus--the expertly constructed and deftly
executed classic, "Stairway to Heaven".

Led
Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same (DVD)
£7.99
- click
here to buy now
Bombastic,
pretentious and narcissistic, Led
Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same is also one
of the best concert films of the 1970s, capturing the
greatest rock band of the decade in full flight at Madison
Square Gardens in 1973. The notorious "fantasy
sequences" punctuate the musical action but don't,
fortunately, interrupt it. Playing true to their self-indulgent
rock & roll personas, each band member has his own
segment, as does legendary larger-than-life manager
Peter Grant. Only John Bonham's is reasonably down-to-earth:
during his mammoth drum solo ("Moby Dick")
he is seen driving his custom car, his Harley chopper,
and a drag racer at Santa Pod, as well as inspecting
bulls and doing a bit of building work. Well, what else
would a working-class lad from Birmingham do with his
millions?
Elsewhere,
John Paul Jones is a demented Phantom of the Opera with
an unfeasibly large organ ("No Quarter");
Robert Plant is a quasi-Arthurian knight errant rescuing
a suitable rock-chick damsel in distress ("The
Song Remains the Same/Rain Song"); while Aleister
Crowley acolyte Jimmy Page goes in for sorcery and mysticism
as he encounters the wizard from the cover of Led Zep
IV ("Dazed & Confused"). But the real
magic is the onstage footage: Page wields his Gibson
Les Paul as if he is indeed enchanted (the violin bow
becomes his magician's wand in "Dazed & Confused"),
while Plant preens and prowls his way around the stage,
the very image of the rock idol; and quite how Jones
and Bonham managed to be such a behemoth of a rhythm
section is still a mystery. For all its many faults,
this remains an essential document of an era when rock
dinosaurs still walked the earth.
On
the DVD: No extra features to speak of at all, which
is extremely disappointing given the wealth of archive
material concerning the band and this movie that must
be available. The picture and sound are respectable
without being exceptional.
Synopsis
A superb celebration of this talented supergroup on
stage at Madison Square Garden. Features many of the
songs from their heyday plus fantasy clips. Tracklisting
includes 'Stairway To Heaven', 'Black Dog' and 'Since
I've Been Loving You'.
