Stargroves Tangie Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 On this boot (this is a vinyl boot, don't know if this is on cd), side 4 has what's listed as "I'm Confused" by The Yardbirds (previously released). Is this really the Yardbirds or is this the Jake Holmes version? If it is the Yardbirds it sure doesn't sound like Keith Relf to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandown Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It's Jake Holmes' original recording (1967). There are 3 semi-official Yardbirds versions with Jimmy: 1. French TV, March 1968 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMz1TwtDsjk) 2. BBC recording, March 1968 (released on the 2003 "Little Games" CD) 3. Live At The Anderson Theater, May 1968 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di0n3r9NwDI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my Little Games cd doesn't have a version of D&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I could be wrong, but wasn't Session Man an official release? I have it on CD - a two-disc set (Vol. 1 with green/yellow cover, Vol. 2 with purple and blue cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i found it on a bootleg-hub for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on CD - a two-disc set (Vol. 1 with green/yellow cover, Vol. 2 with purple and blue cover) It's "official" in the sense that Bomp Records was able to exploit a legal loophole to release it. But it wasn't authorized by anyone in the Zep camp. And if Jimmy ever found out that the version of "White Summer" on Volume 2 (attributed to "The New Yardbirds live in 1968") was actually the Led Zeppelin BBC recording........well, I think Bomp Records might get sued out of existence.

This is consistent with my experience as well. I purchased Session Man at a major music retail store, where it was being sold as a legitimate commericial release.

But it wasn't authorized by anyone in the Zep camp. This was the first of many of those types of compilations of Page's early works, though. I have another with Page/Clapton/Beck as well that was officially released and sold in stores, but authorization was not legally necessary.
