FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY

[The Queen of Light <rhf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Badgeholders!

"Oh come on, meet me in the morning... meet me in the middle of the
night, night, night, yeah........"

In my claws (which are sore from b-ball practice) I hold an object that
soothes the soreness (no, not a lemon... better). In my hands I hold a
promotional copy of something titled:
Led Zeppelin

BBC
Sessions

Ooooooooh, baby, its a kind of magic for an amatuer bootleg collector
like me. The quality is faboo...

I've only gotten up to WIaWSNB on the first disc, due to b-ball practice
(I'm 6', remember?), but after announcing on the court that I got my BBC
Sessions today, everyone that knew who Led Zeppelin was and even those
that didn't gathered 'round and questioned me. I taught 5 girls (who are
in 7th and 8th grade) who Led Zeppelin is, and who Robert Plant is.
They'll make proud Sunshine Women (those that drool over Plant) someday.
Ah yes... the school conquered by Sunshine Women... a Catholic school
too. Wouldn't Percy be in heaven... ahem... uh... enough of that. 

But anyways, I should stop daydreaming and should start screaming about
how GOOD this album is. The version of Travelling Riverside Blues is the
same as on the 2nd box set. When I put the CD in the player right before
I had to leave for practice (I figured I'd get in some Zep to get the
addreneline pumping {it worked}), and when I heard that guitar from You
Shook Me.... oh, my... almost better than an orgasm (almost). Hey, don't
blame me, I don't have the amazing collections of boots that alot of you
on this list have. And then I decided to sing along... well... in the
words of Robert Plant... Good Lord. I must study live Percy somemore. I
must admit that I'm not all that fond of the studio version of You Shook
Me... it's too consistent for me. But, the live version... "I just can't
put it down". 

One thing about my copy is that on the front, in gold, it has the
following words stamped into the front of the CD booklet: "FOR
PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY. SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS PROHIBITED. MUST BE
RETURNED ON DEMAND OF RECORDING COMPANY." Usually I wouldn't mind this,
but on Zeppelin's first release in... oh... only 15 years (offical
release, anyways), I thought of it to be just a bit annoying. All the
pictures of Percy are, IMO, horrid. No wonder the DJ was cursing me when
he asked me who my favorite member of Zeppelin was and I answered.
Anyways, the track listing is as follows:

<editor's note; not in track listing: Somethin' Else rules! Gives me
that total "Oh, we're Led Zeppelin... did we break a nail?" feeling.>

9. Whole Lotta Love (medley)	13:45
	- Boogie Chillun'/Fixin' To Die

10: Thank You	6:37

Alright, my thoughts about the track listing... I would of put Friends
or some other raritiy in place of Thank You.

Finally, an entirely different topic. The song that in my testing (by
Zeppelin) that most appeals to Non-ZepHeads: no, it wasn't Stairway,
even though that is Zeppelin's mail well known song. To someone who
doesn't even know who Led Zeppelin is (until I mentioned it), and thinks
Robert Plant looks freaky, Hey Hey What Can I Do was the chosen song. I
wrote the lyrics to HHWCID on this girl's book on Thursday of last week
(from memory) and she said "Oh, I remember that! I LOOVE that song!
That's the only one out of all of those boring old songs that you played
for me that I liked!" I said to that "Well, at least I don't complain
about YOUR music!" and she said "Yes you do... you complain that you're
gonna develop a tumor if you listen to it one second longer." Anyways,
enough rambling.

Congratulations to Dardo, his wife, and his baby girl... (ya know,
Jessica is a good name... :))

"I thought I heard an angel cry..."

ever onward,
