Guilty Grooves and Covered-Up Covers: When Stadium Rock Stars-In-Waiting Earned Their Tea-Breaks Anonymously In The Studios Of London

ON THE 17th September, 2007, Your Time In Gonna Come: The Roots Of Led Zeppelin 1964-69 was released by Sanctuary Records. Blighted severely by the paucity of tracks from singer Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham prior to the group rising from the ashes of the Yardbirds in 1968, it consisted principally of bass player John Paul Jones and guitarist Jimmy Page serving as hired hands for both comparative unknowns such as the First Gear and the Fifth Column and well-known names like Heinz, the Kinks and Donovan.
