Stroll On Was the only Yardbirds track specifically recorded for a film. The song was intended for the 1967 movie Blow Up. The cut is basically Train Kept A Rollin with different lyrics. The tune includes both Beck and Page on guitars.
My Babe Left Me Is one of the earliest recording sessions featuring Jimmy Page on guitar. The single written by Arthur Cruddop is a remake of an Elvis Presley Sun records classic. The track was recorded in early 1963 with Dave Berry and the Cruisers.
A Certain Girl Recorded by The First Gear features Page on guitar in 1964. The tune was popular with the British groups of the era including The Yardbirds, who also recorded it with Eric Clapton.
Leave My Kitten Alone Is the B-side to A Certain Girl. Its an outstanding British pop record. In 1964 the song was recorded by several British bands including the Beatles. The session was produced by Shel Talmy who also produced records for The Kinks and The Who.
Surprise Surprise Was recorded by Page in 1965. The record was released by Lulu and The Luvvers. The track is a cover version of an often overlooked Rolling Stones number. Lulu later went on to fame as a pop singer with songs like To Sir With Love, but she began her career as an R&B singer with Page backing her up on guitar. (Godwin states that Lulu is not performing this version)
How Do You Feel Was one of the final recordings featuring Page as a session guitarist. Recorded in 1966 by The Primitives, this track captures the true raw sound and feel of British rock bands of the era.
Jims Blues Was released on an album by PJ Proby Three Week Hero. It was the first record including all the members of Led Zeppelin. The album was recorded several months before Led Zeppelin I.
Traveling Riverside Blues Was originally recorded for Led Zeppelin II. For some unknown reason, the track remained an unreleased outtake for over twelve years.

Nice to hear what sounds like an early sketch of the song. One of my favorites (that's what I always say).
