Customer Reviews Summary

Robert Plank, Jammy Page, Jean Paul Georgian-Ringo and John ‘Bongos’ Bingham made up what was quite possibly the best band of what used to be called the 1970s ( and I only say ‘quite possibly’ because there were so many other world-beating ‘outfits’, of all musical hues, about and around and all over the place in those halcyon (something to do with kingfishers) days. Bands and groups and ‘outfits’ of such utterly different musical hues that one would have to be mentally infirm to ever consider comparing them. Bands like The Clash and Pink Floyd. Bands like The Jam and Joy Division. Bands like The Who and Buzzcocks. Then there are all the solo artists, Dylan, Bowie, Reed, Pop, Mitchell, Springsteen, Young, etc, etc. Then there are Showaddywaddy! All of which said, and excusing the rather questionable cover, this is a fine album by an absolutely topping band and though I enjoyed the Seventies myself as a little lad, actually being born in the same year as the Zep themselves, I also wish I might have been born a bit sooner so as to enjoy that epoch a bit more fully. But then the Sixties might have been even better, Northern Working Class people seemed to do pretty well in those days, and then what about even earlier, fighting the Nazis in WWII, but then, the Eighties were all right too, actually, so…So what is the point of this, what am I ‘trying’ to ‘say’, exactly? Have I lost my thread? Did I even have one to begin with? Did I think I had one, as one can sometimes, held between first finger and thumb, only to find that it had either slipped away or had been a figment of my feverish imagination all along?As you can probably tell I don’t get out much, and probably shouldn’t be allowed to, all things considered, but let me leave you with this thought…
