Price 15.39 USD
Numbered/limited edition of 1000 copies in a unique card wallet. When U.S. folk-rock singer/songwriter Jake Holmes opened for The Yardbirds in NY in August 1967, little did he suspect that one of his songs, "Dazed And Confused," would be "commandeered" by Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin"s guitarist Jimmy Page who later claimed the songwriting credit himself. Holmes had done the rounds of the NY folk scene, working in bands with the likes of Tim Rose before going solo. This is his first recording which originally appeared on the Tower label in 1967. The album is considered a folk-rock masterpiece, and it was described at the time as "a songwriter, three guitars and a mirror." The guitars of Holmes and Ted Irwin (later to play with Elliot Murphy, Roy Buchanan and various country singers).
