I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

Jimmy Page
Image
But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
Jimmy Page
Image
The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.
