I assume that everyone has seen the cycling shorts?

[I Live On Miles Road Epsom, Does Anyone Know Jimmy's Number?]

Well, Jimmy was only eight when they moved in so I find the oft-repeated anecdote about prior tenants having left the Spanish style acoustic guitar behind to be questionable. It's possible but perhaps his parent's simply purchased it for him two years later, in 1955, after Elvis Presley released 'Baby Let's Play House' - the catalyst for Jimmy wanting to become a part of rock music and learn to play. In his teens he acquired his first proper electric guiitar as well as a sitar (the sitar prior to George Harrison he'll tell you quite proudly) and asked his father if he would ask an Indian co-worker of his to show Jimmy some basics. Later, but still in his teens, Jimmy attended a Ravi Shankar gig with a girlfriend and afterward they met with Ravi, who wrote down some sitar pointers for him.

Ha! Thank you once again. Would it have been IN mIles Road when we did start playnig guitar/sitar then? Your knowledge is incredible!

Steve that is amazing. Thank you so much. Its even more thrilling knowing that its literally 3 doors down from where i live. I suppose as Jimmy would put it "theres no luck in magick"!!! Anyway you gave me more information than I could even have hoped for. I was really also hoping to find the room he found the guitar in. I have heard of the Miles Road tape but I (quite stupidly) didn't know the origin of it. This was the same residence where he found his first guitar isn't it? They think left by the old tenents. Anyway I can't thank you enough for this its just brilliant. Thanks again.

Hello

I am a young guitarist doing well in a new band. And a really stange coincidence happened. My favourite two bands are The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. But by a mile. I got a new-ish girlfriend and I ended up renting a house from her Godfather in Epsom. It is number 40 Miles Road. To my surprise and complete delight I discovered that Jimmy Page also lived there when he was growing up. It is also the house where he found the guitar as he put it. The one where he thought they might have just left it behind when he got there. I was really hoping that someone might know which number it was in the street. Mainly because our first single is out in November and I thought a shoot with the band at Jimmy's House for the artwork might be really good. I can't seem to find the exact address anywhere but talking to local people they think it might also have been in the 40s! Anyway any information on this would be so gratefully received. Thank you.
