Led Zeppelin - 1963-1988 - Cabala
(Various FLAC)

CABALA
8CD's covering Zed Zeppelin and relevent pre-Led Zeppelin material, dating from roughly 1963 through 1988. Quality is variable, but all very listenable.

It's an interesting set to listen to, if only for Jonseys bass line during CD7's ALL MY LOVE from 1977! You get a good idea of what preceeded and helped dirct them early on along with an intersting sample of some of their best songs, and chunk of rare and obscure tracks and takes.

NOTES
Disc One:

01. I’m Confused – Was one of the first numbers Led Zeppelin added to their set after beginning their career as the New Yardbirds. They soon changed the name of the song to “Dazed and Confused”. This version was recorded in 1968 at the Anderson Theater for one of Page's final performances with The Yardbirds.

02. Train Kept A Rollin’ – Was another song Zeppelin played during their first American Tour in 1969. The track was recorded live in New York in 1968 with Jimmy Page and The Yardbirds.

03. She Just Satisfies – Is the first solo release from James Patrick Page. Originally released in 1965 under the name of Jimmy Page, this record is now incredibly scarce. The song was written and produced by Page. The track features Jimmy on all the instruments and lead vocals.

04. Keep Movin’ – An R&B instrumental is the B-side to 21-year old Jimmy Page’s first solo release. The single was issued only in England on Fontana Records.

05. You Better Run – Is the first recording featuring a 19-year old Robert Anthony Plant. The single was released in 1966 and issued under the name of Plant’s group Listen. The track is a cover version of a Rascals tune which was later recorded by Pat Benatar.

06. Everybody’s Gonna Say – Is the B-side to Robert Plant’s first solo single. The band originally called themselves The Tennessee Teens, but changed their name to Listen. This is the first track crediting Robert Plant as songwriter.

07. Our Song – Was Robert Plant’s first solo single issued under his own name. The single was released only in England in mid-1967.

08. Long Time Coming – Was the third and final Robert Plant solo release before joining Led Zeppelin. The track was recorded by The Band of Joy in late-1967. The group included a 19-year old drummer named John Henry Bonham.

09. I’ve Got A Secret – Is the B-side to the Band of Joy’s only recording. This track also features John “Bonzo” Bonham on drums.

10. Goodnight Sweet Josephine – Was the A-side to the Yardbirds final recording with Page. The song has never appeared on any Yardbirds album and features Jimmy’s first experiments with a phased guitar.

11. Think About It – Is the B-side to The Yardbirds last single. Released in 1968, the track was never included on any album and is quite scarce. If you listen to Page’s guitar solo, you’ll hear where he got the idea for the middle of “Dazed and Confused”.

12. Hey Hey What Can I Do – Is the only track Led Zeppelin released as a single, but never included on any of their LP’s. The song was originally released as a B-side to “The Immigrant Song”.

13. Psychodasies – Is one of three Yardbirds tracks featuring Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on guitars. This track has never been released in America, or included on any Yardbirds album.

14. Happenings Ten Years Times Ago – Was the first Yardbirds track to feature both Beck and Page on dual lead guitar.

15. Stroll On – Was the only Yardbirds track specifically recorded for a film. The song was intended for the 1967 movie “Blow Up”. The cut is basically “Train Kept A Rollin’” with different lyrics. The tune includes both Beck and Page on guitars.

16. My Babe Left Me – Is one of the earliest recording sessions featuring Jimmy Page on guitar. The single written by Arthur Cruddop is a remake of an Elvis Presley Sun records classic. The track was recorded in early 1963 with Dave Berry and the Cruisers.

17. A Certain Girl – Recorded by The First Gear features Page on guitar in 1964. The tune was popular with the British groups of the era including The Yardbirds, who also recorded it with Eric Clapton.

18. Leave My Kitten Alone – Is the B-side to “A Certain Girl”. It’s an outstanding British pop record. In 1964 the song was recorded by several British bands including the Beatles. The session was produced by Shel Talmy who also produced records for The Kinks and The Who.

19. Surprise Surprise – Was recorded by Page in 1965. The record was released by Lulu and The Luvvers. The track is a cover version of an often overlooked Rolling Stones number. Lulu later went on to fame as a pop singer with songs like “To Sir With Love”, but she began her career as an R&B singer with Page backing her up on guitar. (Godwin states that Lulu is not performing this version)

20. How Do You Feel – Was one of the final recordings featuring Page as a session guitarist. Recorded in 1966 by The Primitives, this track captures the true raw sound and feel of British rock bands of the era.

21. Jim’s Blues – Was released on an album by PJ Proby “Three Week Hero”. It was the first record including all the members of Led Zeppelin. The album was recorded several months before “Led Zeppelin I”.

22. Traveling Riverside Blues – Was originally recorded for “Led Zeppelin II”. For some unknown reason, the track remained an unreleased outtake for over twelve years.
You Shook Me – no details given

23. The Girl I Love – no details given (ed: later appeared on official release “BBC Sessions” as “The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair”)

Does anyone have a clear rip of the album? I get glitches in a whole number of tracks, no matter if it's Cabala in FLAC or MP3. Don't have the files anymore so I can't give the exact times, but check Disc 3's "Stairway to Heaven" for a good example. It seems the CDs it was ripped from were scratched - or faulty to begin with.

It's a nice compilation especially with the early solo tracks but it's a shame that there's so many faulty parts in it.

I hardly ever do this...no need to become upset! When I read maninjapan's comments, I felt the need to let him/her/others know that when it says variable quality, it doesn't usually refer to bit rate! When I owned a copy of this years ago, I was disappointed with the track separation and that most of the early solo songs were taken from a scratchy vinyl source. Still yet in all, this is what Led Zeppelin fans like in the fact its a rarity to find so many media sources in one set. Hey, for free sharing of the music files, why worry about things that can't be helped or fixed? My software from NCH is standing me in great stead with all the concerts from this site so it's like perpetual Christmas to me, but I understand that individual tastes do vary. Keep up the stellar effort, EDGE, and thanks again for allowing me to be a member of this excellently maintained site!

@EDGE It was my first Bootleg purchased. For a Led Zeppelin fan this is a classic to have. There is all the evolution of Zeppelin and their components from the beginning until the end of their career. In particular I love the second song of the first cd (Train Kept A Rollin')! A classic by The Yardbirds then taken up by Aerosmith who have made it one of their flagships. :cool:
