Re: Page's work & accomplishments

[Cindy Lee Haddock <theunicorngarden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gee--you left out Plant's Sixty-Six to Timbuktu, which is actually a
whole lot of cuts he did with a whole lot of people, combined with a
few cuts from previous albums.  If you cut out the previous cuts, you
have at least another albun's worth.  There was also the cute teeny
live album of retro stuff and current goodies, Little By Little -
Collector's Edition.
