5.0 out of 5 stars
great addition to a collection, October 2, 2000
This review is from: Hip Young Guitar Slinger (Audio CD)
for those of you who loves Jimmy Page's work, this is a must have for your collection. You really get a sense of evolution Page has gone through prior to his Zeppelin years. Many of the songs have been priviously released on indivisual albumns but never has there been a collective group released as this one. So rather than hunting down many obscure, hard to find albumns this collection has it all at once. It's definitely worth the money for so many songs and it's an import too.

Entertaining, Educating and Fun!, December 6, 2000
This review is from: Hip Young Guitar Slinger (Audio CD)
Disc 1 is a musical romp through the early 60's with various english bands that will immediately bring back memories of the Beatles, Chad & Jeremy, Roy Orbison, the Birds, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. While the music of that era was generally rhythm guitar oriented, it is still possible to pick out Page's brief and subdued solo's on many of the songs.
Disc 2 begins in the mid 60's and goes though 1970. By this time the lead guitar solo's become a bit more prominent and Page begins to shine through.
Overall, these CD's are entertaining in addition to providing the intented historical prespective on the development of Jimmy Page. Considering the age of many of these recordings the production and remastering is very well done with hissing and popping kept to an absolute minimum.

Jimmy Page Was A Guitar God Before Starting Led Zeppelin, December 29, 2002
This review is from: Hip Young Guitar Slinger (Audio CD)
I've never heard such amazing guitar playing combined with 60s style music before! If you're a fan of Jimmy Page's, this album is a must have! I don't really know what style of music you have to like to like this album becuase it has bits and pieces of everything. I think it's worth it.
