Kemp And Zep in Wales back in '70



An infamous apt underground LSD chemist, R. Kemp moved to Wales in
1970, to base an acid lab, working in quantities of the psychedelic
to meet the demands of Europe and enough to ship to the US as well.
Appearantly he produced over several KILOs of the drug in the late
sixties and for the early seventies. (And for those who not know, a
single kilogram of LSD is enough for some good five million doses)

While he was setting up in a cottage at Wales, so was Led Zeppelin.
It's common knowledge that Page was using a whole lotta Heroin from
the late seventies to the fogged-up eighties, probably even earlier.
Also it shows they doped up a lot of stimulants during the '75 tour,
prolly when not on stage too. ;)

But there's really not much a talk about their use of psychedelics.
Really, was pot the only drug they did until Cocaine and fame..?
The material on the third album, and Kemp residing so close to them-
now did that lead to something or are they just two events that share
nothing whatsoever.
