    I love the track, Tall Cool One.  Sounds like a cross between
    the Cars, Led Zeplin and Dave Edmunds.  Nice production.  And
    I was never a fan of Plant or Zeplin.  But, I would buy it for
    for that track alone.

    Actually, I've listened to this CD about 6 times since I wrote that
    last note, I was wrong in classing it as a 9/10. It be a 10/10!

    Ah, Andy, you *did* rate it a 10/10. It was Clannad's SIRIUS
    you rated as a 9/10.
    
    All that rock'n'roll must be turning your mind to mush. :-)

    Zeppelin left off (in through the out door). sounds like a zeppelin
    tune to me....

1109.5It's true!HAZEL::CLARKMon Mar 07 1988 13:158
    It is an awesome album - from a guy who used to make awsome albums
    some fifteen years ago.  Watch for the tour, he's supposed to be
    in the area in May. Also, read the interview in Musician magazine.
    It's hilarious and open (like calling David Coverdale "David 
    Coverversion" and saying he'd rather mow Mitch Easter's lawn than
    sing like Journey).

    Re .5
    
    Since this is an international conference, "he's supposed to be
    in the area in May" doesn't tell us much.  Are you referring to
    one of the 9 areas in the US or the General International Area?
     Or maybe the Europian Area?  Or is it a given that "in the area"
    means the Boston area?  Please remember that a large portion of
    us noters aren't in New England.
    
1109.7yup, I can hear.. ;^)DELNI::GILEThe Time and Space OddityTue Mar 08 1988 06:106
    re .5 if "this area" means Maynard area, I hope it also means
    Greatwood! I got this disc last weekend, simply perfect!!!! I
    reccomend it. If anyone gets the schedule for a tour, please post
    it.

1109.8Sorry 'bout that...HAZEL::CLARKFri Mar 11 1988 14:017
    re .5
    
    Sorry, I'm still sort of new at this. Yes, by in the area I mean
    the Boston area. Not Great Woods though - it will be either the
    Garden or the Worcester Septum (or both).

     i just picked up the cd last weekend and it turned out exactly
    as i had hoped for...an excellent work...it drove me to play all
    my old ZEP records.i'm glad plant finally has acknowledged being
    a part of one of the greatest bands that ever existed.
     I believe he is playing in MONTREAL as one of his stops so keep
    checking the calendar!!!

  Sorry ;

      I went out and bought this CD with the recommendation from this
note. I was kinda disappointed but after listening to it several times
it does grab me a little more than the first time I heard it..
      Definately not LED ZEPPELIN material..I heard a interview with
Robert Plant and he comments that this is his best work in Years..
      The Sound Quality is definately A1....
