Sorry, but this statement is either misleading or misinformed.  Sixteen of 
the tracks on 66/Timbuktu are songs from his albums (or alternate versions 
of such).  That's more than "a few", I think.  Many of the remaining songs 
are B-sides, etc., which were (for the most part) nothing more than 
outtakes from album sessions.

Again, this is misleading.  That release is simply a maxi-single with 2 
live tracks on it.  The only thing "retro" about it is that it contains a 
live version of "Rockin' At Midnight" (which Plant had released the 
previous year).  Both Page and Plant released numerous EPs and maxi singles 
in the '80s.

Setting the record straight,
