"Olympic Studios in 1967 was at the cutting edge. We were very innovative and of course we had, I think, the best console in England and possibly the world at the time. We were ahead in terms of design."
~ Eddie Kramer
Jimmy Page & Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studio
I'm not that fond of Roy Harper's music.  I'll listen when Jimmy Page joins him, but really - just give me Jimmy Page straight up, thank you very much.

I'm not fond of mashups either. They're sometimes interesting curiosities but the music is never better than the sum of the parts. Still, if you haven't heard this one, give it a listen.
