Any Zep fans out there?
Do you find yourself vaguely dissatisfied and uncomfortable when listening to Houses of the Holy? Is this unease mostly due to two infamous tunes of dubious quality?
Well, can I recommend you rush immediately to the site in the link and consider your position?
I would only make one alteration to the suggested (and much improved) running order which the Site-Meister has suggested: Page originally wanted the album to open with an instrumental overture which he called The Campaign. Plant got wind of this and quickly wrote some words. We get an idea of what Page had in mind from the Guitar Mix of Song Remains the Same, which appears on the “companion album” with the recent remaster. I prefer the song without the vocals and I prefer the album starting as nature and Page intended – with an overture.
Thoughts?
