Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.....Wham

Great idea. That's what I was thinking. It could only help by cleaning up a lot of the trash on this forum. Unfortunately, I also read those threads and respond as well. So maybe I could be part of the problem as well. But I'm not as speculative as some.
How about a thread called "Rumours 1980-Present" everyone could take part, Part of the fun of being a Led Zeppelin fan are the rumours...sense of humour required.

Jimmy Page's Shirt Designed by Paul Reeves (1966)
Archive Image Courtesy of Jimmy Page
Paul met Jimmy when the latter was in the Yardbirds in 1966, and soon the greatest guitarist of his generation was wearing shirts and jackets produced by Paul and partner Pete Sutch under their imprint Sam Pig In Love.
The label was also a favourite of Jimi Hendrix, whose Sam Pig shirt was auctioned for thousands by Christie’s a couple of years back.
“They were pretty individual because I was using odd fabrics,” says Reeves. “Sometimes there’d be very short runs or even just one shirt, which maybe Jimmy would have.”Reeves’ business in particular and 60s fashion in general was changed forever in 1967 when he created six Sam Pig In Love kaftans made from Indian bedspreads purchased at long–gone Kensington department store Pettit’s.
“They were full-length, with Nehru collars and half-belts at the back,” says Reeves.“I took them to Emmerton & Lambert in Chelsea Antiques Market and all six were snapped up within half an hour; Mick Jagger and George Harrison bought one each. I decided to shorten them and went on to sell thousands when everyone else got into them.”
Reeves launched new company Alkasura Wholesale in 1968, and Page remained a loyal customer; the pair sparked off each other sartorially. Both, for example, commissioned buckled snakeskin boots from the legendary 60s shoemaker Costas of Tooting, inspired by the attire of a romantic figure in early 20th century illustrator Kay Nielson’s book East Of the Sun West Of The Moon. Page’s are now part of the V&A collection.
In March 2008 Reeves was curator for The Best Of British, a major exhibition and auction of 19th and 20th century design in conjunction with Sotheby’s. Notable contributions included furniture from another of Paul’s close friends, musician, actor, Spandau Ballet founder and avid collector Gary Kemp.
Page, meanwhile, contributed the magnificent Burne-Jones tapestry The Quest of the Holy Grail: The Achievement, testament if need be to one of the most enduring friendships in pop and rock fashion.
Thank you for the reply Steve.

Well, I'm an avid collector and I've been at it for many, many years. Still, it's always a thrill to discover or obtain something new. Also, I do trade with others quite often.
So, Jimmy's wardrobe. His on-stage attire, offstage or the lot? As far as off-stage,
he has said he felt he looked like "quite a dandy". Some of his clothing (the tartan
trousers, the tiny Zoso sweater) look real eccentric 30 years on! There was a girl
named Coco who designed his dragon suits. I believe she lived in the LA area. She
was a legitimate seamstress, not a groupie. He still has those suits, although they
have been lent to exhibitions from time to time.
I will be wrong, but Paul Reeves designed one of those suits?

Hope you are not Lynn Truss, I was asked if Led Zeppelin have a Database,Do they?Aw, thanks Steve.Considering that by 3PM on any given day I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast that morning.......I'm amazed I remembered reading that when I first got the CD, I bought it probably 2 years ago!
Anyway, I typed it as it was written by RP, no hyphen or apostrophe.

Does anyone know the name of the artist and the name and date of the painting in this photograph? My friend and I always thought that this photo was taken at Pangbourne and the painting was one from Jimmy's collection of Pre-Raphaelite art:

Which something? Robert was on in 1978 and 1982.
Steve, I believe I confirmed to you quite some time ago that I was an"attendee" at that Stray Cats gig and it was indeed the Hammersmith. I don't remember it being "Little Sister" though, but my memory can be a bit shite and it was a bit of a party night. He attended with Charlie Jones (they arrived on his motorbike) and they met up with Carmen there.
And yeah, I was at the TTTV Tube taping too and know exactly the stories behind it being pulled, knowing the staff behind the taping too - and there is NO footage of it anywhere in public - Robert paid TTTV £20,000 to have the show pulled and all footage was handed to him as part of the deal.
Woody - is that you?
