You should learn the Bert Jansch version of this. Oh wait, they're the same...

Umm, Bert recorded his in about 1967, and yes, Page took it virtually note for note - just go listen to the original. Apparently Al Stewart learned it from Bert and taught it to Page. Note that Jansch called it, correctly, 'Traditional' - i.e., not his own, though the guitar arrangement clearly was. He also called the song by its traditional name "Blackwaterside," a place in Northern Ireland, whereas Page made up a title Black Mountain Side, to vaguely confuse the provenance. Bit dishonest.

It doesnt matter who was responsible.

Page will be remembered for being the best guitarist in history.

All this credit/plagiarism lark wont change that & will be forgotten soon.

You can hardly accuse most 'pop bands' today of originality.

Theyr constantly 're-mixing' & plagiarising themselves as most lack any

talent.

The majority cant even play an instrument

[stella maris]

It was originally credited it to Plant/Page when it was Bert Jansch

who adapted it from a trad. irish song,just as they were on songs

Willie Dixon was known for before Led Zep even formed.

All 'miscredits' appeared on albums on their first release.

Subsequent re-issues are all properly credited so 2 of the same albums can have different credits,depends on their date of issue.

Its much ado over nothing

J.Pages supremacy will never be rivaled.

And Zeps legacy will live for eternity

[T1000Sonic]

in fact alot of this album is stuff by other artists but credited as zeppelin

Jimmy's version is similar to Davy Graham. But be serious. It's like saying western European Music is from the Crimea & Constantinople and everything else is either straight from divine inspiration or plagiarism. I know someone always has to keep hanging it out there. Give it a rest.
