LED ZEPPELIN
RARE INTERVIEWS

INTERVIEW 1
BBC RADIO - ONE NIGHT STAND 1969

The band and One Night Stand host Alan Black take a break in the middle
of this 30 minute program to talk and joke with the audience. The program
was created specifically to allow bands to perform with complete artistic
freedom. Some of the six tracks performed on the program appear on the
BBC Sessions double album. Recorded in June 1969, this interview
remains one of the earliest available.

INTERVIEW II
KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR - 1976/77

An astounding and very recent discovery, this interview is a truly long
lost treasure. It was recorded between late 1976 and the beginning of
the tour in April 1977. The interviewer is Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, one of
England's most respected DJs. In a casual exchange Jimmy Page
provides a unique and rare insight into his thinking about the band, the
music and the future. The interview was never transmitted and has
remained hidden to 20 years.

INTERVIEW III
THE PUBLICITY INTERVIEW - 1990

Recorded in the summer of 1990, it was intended that this interview be
used for promotion of syndicated radio. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and
John Paul Jones each take a look back at their albums, their success and
their determination to produce music that challenged both them and the
audience. Each of the trio gives their own personal recollection and
anecdotes which makes this piece enormously entertaining.


Information not printed on the back cover:

INTERVIEW I (5:17)
INTERVIEW II (34:19) Page mentions in the beginning that they recorded
shows going back to 1969 including the Forum, Los Angeles.
INTERVIEW III (24:07)

Since Best Buy is offering this entire release for $16.99, I suggest
everyone hunt down a copy. It's great to see an American release of
something that contains more material than an import. Typically we wind
up spending whatever the exchange rate is for the 2 or 3 bonus songs
privileged enough to be on an import. However, I'd rather have the entire
Royal Albert Hall show on the third disc.
