5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun from the past., April 30, 2007

By	Patrick Moreau (Pelham, N.H. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this EP when it came out in the 80's for many it was a surprize hit. The CD remaster is great. You can hear everything very clearly. Jeff Beck's guitar solo at the end of "rockin at midnight" is vibrant. On the Ep it was faded out. Just a warning, Robbie Blunt is only on the live version and, this is not his first collab' with Mr. Plant despite what it says above. Hey, who ever thought old stuff could sound relevent?

5.0 out of 5 stars Short & sweet, March 17, 2009

By	Roy P. Smith "royp60" (royp60) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Robert Plant returns to his roots of Rythym & Blues on this album. None of the songs are originals, they are all cover-songs; yet very well done. Some of my favorite albums are cover-songs & this is one of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Robert and Jimmy mellow out!, January 29, 2008

By	andy8047 (Nokomis,Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page,late of Led Zeppelin,mellow out with some R&B/swing numbers like the Top 10 hit SEA OF LOVE and the Top 20 hit ROCKIN' AT MIDNIGHT. Joining Plant and Page in this ensemble is Nile Rodgers,who himself had chart success with his R&B band Chic. Rodgers had quite a workload with this album and Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN. It's understandable that Plant and Page declined to carry on with Led Zeppelin after the 1980 death of drummer John Bonham. SOL was made famous originally by Phil Phillips in 1959. The differences between Phillips' recording and the cover are no "buh-buh-buh-bum" in the cover,a key change in the cover and Plant's accenting of some of the lyrics differently than how Phillips did it. I guess that's because Plant is English(as is Page) and Phillips is American(as is Rodgers). ROCKIN' AT MIDNIGHT really swings. It got the lively 1940's sound that the fighting men of World War II were dancing to at clubs. After this album,Plant,whose solo career began in or around 1982,continued going solo. Page formed his third band THE FIRM and released an album in 1985. Recently,the surviving Led Zeppelin members re-formed with a new drummer and are currently on tour.
