STUDIO STAIRWAY TO SUCCESS
For a unique insight into the Led Zep luminary’s pre-fame musical world, look no further than the two-volume compilation album series Jimmy Page: Session Man (AIP Records, a subsidiary of the Bomp! label; first volume released 1989 with its second in 1990). Not to be confused with its earlier vinyl predecessor, a visually similar bootleg titled James Patrick Page: Session Man (Slipped Disc records, 1979), this choice selection features 42 rare recordings by various artists spanning 1963-1968, all of which showcase Page’s youthful yet gifted guitar finesse.
