A look into Jimmy Page before Led Zeppelin

"This CD has two parts. The first 14 tracks are of various singers with Jimmy Page playing guitar on the recordings. They're tuned to more of the "oldies but goodies", pre-Beatles listeners.
The last 6 tracks have Page, Bonham, and Jones blasting out 1970 atomic metal with Screaming Lord Sutch on vocals. The difference between the 14th and the 15th track are quite contrasting, so be prepared for a jolt.
The entire CD is a great exposition of Page's development as Britain's axeman, and is well worth a listen to by anybody that admires his fretwork."
No intro needed

"The 1st part of this disc is a great little compilation with the various session guys that were big in England in the '60s just doing some songs they all liked. John Paul Jones is featured on some tracks along with Jimmy Page and Albert Lee... The last stuff is the Screaming Lord Sutch songs... If you want these two compliations get them in their proper way, No Introduction Necessary without the Lord Sutch stuff...and then get the Lord Sutch complete album which should have songs by both Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck."
