mhotter74 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I was hoping that some of the fans who have picked up the new Mothership compilation could comment on any details and thoughts on David Fricke's accompanying essay. Anything juicier than the old Cameron Crowe rehashes? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasWebster Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Cameron Crowe's new notes for SRTS have great new quotes from Jimmy and Robert. Haven't read Fricke's yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I was hoping that some of the fans who have picked up the new Mothership compilation could comment on any details and thoughts on David Fricke's accompanying essay. Anything juicier than the old Cameron Crowe rehashes? Thanks! Has anyone noticed how low-res the images on the back of the case and inside the booklet are? looks like they were taken off the net, although Ross Halfin gets a photo research credit so they mustn't be???

guitarmy Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I was hoping that some of the fans who have picked up the new Mothership compilation could comment on any details and thoughts on David Fricke's accompanying essay. Anything juicier than the old Cameron Crowe rehashes? Thanks! Fricke starts with the Atlantic Press release that they'd signed a "hot, new English group", and describes the article. Then he moves on to discuss some facts about the early days of Led Zeppelin, and some reactions to them. Fricke goes through every song on the album and basically gives a few facts about each. He highlights certain members for certain songs. All the while he presents this information in a chronological order. At some points he is speaking to people who know Led Zeppelin very well, and at some points he is speaking to Led Zeppelin novices. I enjoyed the Crowe article much more, but I can't recall why. Maybe it's the aforementioned new quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstork Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 By the way, I read in the New York Post yesterday that an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone will feature a cover story on Zeppelin by Fricke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerbell Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I enjoyed the Crowe article much more, but I can't recall why. Actually I was a little bit astonished because the booklet was not written by Cameron Crowe. He is a member of the family. Infact, I missed him. Sorry, David Fricke! Maybe I'm just getting old and a little bit nostalgic. Somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
