The Page Memoirs
Jimmy Page is as wary of discussing his formidable past as he is talking to the press in the first place. The latter state of affairs has been alleviated somewhat but exists as a reminder of the consciously anti-Zeppelin bias that prevailed in several noteworthy periodicals for so long, and Page’s own awareness that facts and statements can so easily be twisted and perverted into something else again when splashed across the printed page.

MAY 1974
Here Brit writer Nick Kent delves into Jimmy Page's pre-Led Zep career—with the Yardbirds and even earlier. Few people have managed to catch Jimmy Page so talkative about his past; fewer still have done it as well as Kent.
Jimmy Page is as wary of discussing his formidable past as he is talking to the press in the first place. The latter state of affairs has been alleviated somewhat but exists as a reminder of the consciously anti-Zeppelin bias that prevailed in several noteworthy periodicals for so long, and Page’s own awareness that facts and statements can so easily be twisted and perverted into something else again when splashed across the printed page.
Still, looking obscenely calm and healthy in the wake of the last (and exceptionally grueling) Led Zeppelin assault on the United States, the dapper Mr. Page genially acquiesed to being plugged with questions about his pre-Zeppelin work.
