In February 1994 Jimmy & Robert began rehearsing at Depot Studios near Kings Cross, London using a series of drum loops provided by Martin Meissonnier as backing tracks.

The demo for 'Wonderful One' was done at RAK Recording Studios in St. John's Wood, London. It was first performed live in August 1994 at the London Television Centre

for the MTV 'Unledded' telecast which premiered in the USA on October 12, 1994.

If I'm correct, I think it was first released on No Quarter in 1994.

steve, this link says that it wasnt written by page and plant. is that correct?

[SteveAJones]

steve, this link says that it wasnt written by page and plant. is that correct?

Please disregard the Wikipedia link, it is referring to a different song of the same title.

Rest assured the 'Wonderful One' we have been discussing here was indeed written

by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in Spring 1994.

Why do people even bother with wikipedia?

Why do people even bother with wikipedia?

As a quick reference for singular facts, figures and dates it's generally useful. However, it is generally unreliable for anything beyond this.

It should be noted that the version released on the No Quarter/Unledded CD is not from the August 1994 concerts. It's actually a studio recording from November 1994.
