I'm going to dissect this bullshit pile point by point. I agree with Steve that Will Shade's biased agenda is obvious. This will take a couple of posts, folks.

All you need to do is mention Will Shade in the same sentence and most Zep fans will get ready to pounce!

BTW Bonzo was fond of Saabs as well...

Frank,

That's news to me also.

Peter "Dougal" Butler seems to be the source for this info. He mentions it in his book about Keith and I guess if it's in print, it's fact.. eight ?! Not handy at the moment, but I'll look thru Mick Bonham's book and see if there's any mention of that car in there.

Nech,

I think that clears up HOTH cover art.

I can solve your tape mystery: The interview to which you refer was conducted by David White of Radio 2SM Australia. It began in Jimmy's limo at Newark International Airport following the Landover, MD gig and continued in his suite at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. The burgers were being sent up by room service, if I remember correctly. This was conducted May 31st 1977 and probably went past midnight.

Radio 2SM had hoped to present a series of on-the-road interviews with the biggest

names in rock, which explains what David White, an Australian, was doing in NYC.

(Edit: Name of the interviewer corrected).

Thanks, now I know how to label that tape!

I am who I say I am.

I have not "taken over" anything. This is an open forum and I like to think I contribute

worthwhile posts.

Yeah Steve, how dare you make all these Zeppelin related posts in a Zeppelin forum?!?!?!

What I really want to know is what do you know about Robert's grooming habits, Jimmy's occult dabblings, Jones' phone number and where can I find some hot pictures of Jason?!!!!

Now as far as TSRTS goes, I do not have the time to really watch it as my multitasking abilities have been dulled by repetitive " Which Zep Song you like best?" polls, are there any new crotch shots of Robert I should be on the lookout for?

Thanks for your very informative and thought provoking posts.

RE: JIMMY PAGE'S INSPIRATION FOR HOUSES OF THE HOLY ALBUM COVER?

I seem to recall he said this to Dave Schulps in his hotel room during the

'77 tour and was referring to the film, but I could be mistaken about that. I've

reviewed about 20 interviews recently transferred from audio to cdr over the past

few weeks so I can't speak with any degree of precision at the moment --they all

start to run together in my mind after a while!

Steve,

On disc 3 of the Dave Shulps interview starting at 19:00 ish Jimmy speaks briefly about the HOTH album cover.

He does not mention the specific inspiration for it but does say that Hipgnosis was involved and of course mentions the known troubles with color and all.

However in another interview in 1977 Titled 'Jimmy Hotel 1977' for which I do not have specific details as far as date & interviewer he does indeed mention the Midwich Cuckoos....not everyone kept details and notes like you.

Have a listen here:

tripod's funny, you may need to save it to your hd first to listen.

So not necessarily mentioned as an inspiration, but more so that the children remind them of the movie. So does this still remain a mystery ? Also, any trainspotters out there that can indentify that interview, done on the 11th floor of a hotel whislts waiting for burgers to quell that mystery ?

I remain,

Nech
