The acoustic underpinnings are very tasty. And the bowing.....aaaaaah yesssssss. I wonder how much say Page had in the production?<br /><br />This was the B-side of the first Yardbirds single to fail in my neck of the woods. But "Ha Ha Said the Clown" wasn't really the Yardbirds anyway.<br /><br />The follow up, "Ten Little Indians"/"Drinking Muddy Water" had them in the Top Ten in Berdoo again with both sides getting equal airplay.<br /><br />"Hot House..." is only redeemed by Beck. Definitely not a classic in my book.<br /><br />Page was the shit. And he became one hell of a producer, unlike Jeff Beck. Because of this, Led Zepp's late Sixties releases hold up far better than Beck's. <br /><br />Vickie RockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-56244437178248152902013-07-22T17:04:30.324-04:002013-07-22T17:04:30.324-04:00I second Mark's comment.
