georgio Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Does anyone know who or how the Physical Graffiti rehearsal tapes were leaked, and / or stolen? Were these from Jimmy's studio - when he had the break-in circa the pre-Outrider recording? Also, Plant's voice on some of the tracks are much higher (he's wailing away) than the final product...always thought that his voice must have truly given out after / during the recordings - any info welcome....

SteveAJones Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Does anyone know who or how the Physical Graffiti rehearsal tapes were leaked, and / or stolen? Yes. Were these from Jimmy's studio - when he had the break-in circa the pre-Outrider recording? Some if not all. It wasn't a break in it was a violation of trust. Also, Plant's voice on some of the tracks are much higher (he's wailing away) than the final product...always thought that his voice must have truly given out after / during the recordings - any info welcome.... Eight tracks on PG were recorded after Robert had surgery to remove nodes from his vocal cords following the 1973 North American tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgio Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Eight tracks on PG were recorded after Robert had surgery to remove nodes from his vocal cords following the 1973 North American tour. It sounds to me that his operation happened midway between rehearsal and the final recording . Plant is clearly wailing at a much higher key for songs like Sick Again and In the Light in these rehearsals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Dave Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've heard some of this, it was on something titled "Physically Present". Had a version of Kashmir that sounded like it was just Page and Bonham. In the Light sounded like the intro was on a piano that Mozart would play, and it also had an almost completely different set of lyrics. It was definately interesting, but as for who stole them or compromised them, I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Don't have all of this. I have a version called Brutal Artistry II, but doesn't include Bron YR-Aur or acoustic Kashmir. Unaware of this. Have the instrumental version without the overdubs on this release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have Brutal Artistry I & II, 5 discs in all. Very good, I don't know where they originated from, I was given copies from a friend in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one arrangement of tracks. Almost but not quite complete unless they compiled the tracks / versions under each name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matjaz1 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It sounds to me that his operation happened midway between rehearsal and the final recording . Plant is clearly wailing at a much higher key for songs like Sick Again and In the Light in these rehearsals. I still sometimes think, he should have never had that surgery! His nodules were probably not large enough to not heal by themselves and his voice would remain exactly the same. Maybe the doctor didn't evaluate the situation well enough, or he actually played with Robert's trust and decided to mess him up on purpose! I don't know if any of this stuff is true ofcourse, but I know this things sometimes heal by themselves, so I think there was no need for hurrying! Wikipedia: Treatment, or voice rehabilitation, usually involves vocal training, speech therapy, and, occasionally, vocal rest. In rare cases, surgery may be required. Removal of vocal cord nodules is a relatively safe and minor surgery. However, those who sing professionally or otherwise should take serious consideration before having surgery. While the patient is subdued under general anesthesia, long thin scissors and knives are used to remove the nodules, or CO2 surgical lasers might be used which are very effective in such cases. The best preventive steps seem to be wrapped up in the study of vocology, the science and practice of voice habilitation. Symptoms of vocal nodules include vocal fatigue and hoarseness or breathiness. Hoarseness or breathiness that lasts for more than two weeks may signal a voice disorder and should be followed up with an appointment with an Otorhinolaryngologist.
