His debut solo album, issued two years after Zeppelin dissolved. Back in the days I was gulled by a friend who played it to me and claimed it was a new Led Zeppelin LP. Doubted it at first, but after getting a glimpse of the label and listening to the first two tracks I believed. "Burning Down One Side" a catchy riff rocker and "Moonlight In Samosa" a sweet ballad with some very attractive guitars. And on it went with pumping drums, top guitars and Plant's vocals sounding a lot like before. Maybe not as heavy as old Zep, but with lots of the same feeling. Then when he smiled and told me the truth - a Plant solo album with other musicians - I was disappointed but in love. And the backing was superb - Phil Collins and Cozy Powell on drums, Robbie Blunt on guitar, Paul Martinez on bass and Jezz Woodroffe handeling keyboards. All cuts penned by the band and the whole thing produced by Plant himself. Still like it a lot and even if he was supported by other guys I can't help getting at least some Zep vibes. Issued and reissued all over the world on every possible format through the years. First UK on Swan Song (SSK 59418). Premiere US had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with glossy credit inner. (YZÄ*) (LÖZ*)
