TBL 38 Announcement 1: Jimmy Page in the TBL interview…

I am pleased to announce that the forthcoming issue of the TBL magazine due to ship early November, will include an exclusive Jimmy Page interview conducted with me last week, in which he talks about the Led Zeppelin IV and Houses Of The Holy reissues, the experimental music he is due to release via his website, his record collecting and desire to be out and seen to be playing again….

Jimmy has long since promised he would provide an interview for TBL and he was as good as his word. I recorded this with Jimmy last Thursday afternoon during a day of media interviews he gave at the Gore Hotel Kensington. My allocated time was limited and the interview was centred mainly around the forthcoming reissues. There was of course  a crop of questions I wanted to ask but time did run out all too soon!

Nonetheless, he was on great form talking lucidly about the reissues and more.  His pride and enthusiasm for Led Zeppelin and his standing within it all, was plainly evident throughout my time with him. As was his keenness to get back out there and perform. After the interview I showed him a pic of he and I from The Feather In The Wind book  taken on June 18th 1980 before the Cologne gig – as we posed for a then and now photo he laughed ‘‘we look a whole lot younger then!’

Younger then and older now – but neither of us no less fervent for this band that really is a way of life. ‘’Thanks for all your enthusiasm Dave’’ was his parting shot.

Thank you Jimmy for all yours…

Suffice to say, this is a major coup for the forthcoming TBL issue and if this isn’t a reason to subscribe – then I don’t know what is!

You can read the full contents of this Jimmy Page interview plus a host of other compelling views and features in the forthcoming issue TBL 38 which commences the TBL 2014/15 subscription. As a bonus, every subscriber will receive an exclusive 10 x 8 limited edition print suitable for framing. This is a Jimmy Page shot from Frankfurt on the Over Europe 1980 tour.
