One can only wonder HOW Jimmy Page thought he could lift the melody, words, melody and riff relatively instact from Jake Holmes 1967 record, and frankly I'm dazed and confused why it took Jame Holmes over forty years to sue. Holmes was quoted as saying "let him have it" when interviewed about the song thievery in the '70's.

But legality isn't the point here with todays' post; I'm mostly fascinated that this incredibly non-commercial recording was even RELEASED as a 45 (the track is most famously found on the 1967 "Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes" LP)! Personally I'm glad that it was, so all of us 45 RPM junkies can all enjoy its freaky vibe in punchy, direct mono glory.
