Killer cd-single, Immigrant Song is a pile-driver of a track, and the rarely heard Hey Hey What Can I Do is what makes this a keeper for Zep collectors! Awesome

Okay so iTunes doesn't have this in their library and if you've already got the entire Led Zeppelin catalogue like I do and you don't want to purchase the double CD package currently available in order to get this one lost gem of a song then this is your only recourse. Everyone knows the history by now but for those classic rock fans that don't, this song was never released on a Led Zeppelin album due to its rather suggestive song lyrics for the day, LOL. Although seen as rather tame by todays standards it was only released as a 45 B side for both Immigrant Song and /or Stairway to Heaven. This song was however a FM rock radio staple for many years as many Zep fans would call in a song request for this on a fairly routine basis from coast to coast. Maybe this song will finally make its debut on iTunes in the future but why wait until then? Just order it up here and get'r done. The price is fairly cheap unless of course this review prompts a massive binge buy from many of you. So go ahead and get it while the price is right, you deserve to add this to your CD collection why not make it so now. Happy listening enjoyment will soon be yours, rejoice!
Le grand public qui n'est pas féru de Led Zep, résume souvent l'oeuvre de ce groupe à "Stairway..." et pourtant il y en a tant d'autres ! "Immigrant song" en fait partie: ce titre démarrant l'album "Led Zeppelin III" "envoie du bois" et suscite l'attention jusqu'à la fin. Surtout que cette combinaison de quatre musiciens aussi doués les uns que les autres permet cette alchimie: Robert Plant avec sa voix aigue et... sexy, John Bonham avec sa frappe de bûcheron, Jimmy Page qui envoie ses riffs bien dosés et John Paul Jones avec son jeu de basse "léché".
Sur cette réédition CD, se trouve en face B (ou titre 2) un inédit "Hey hey what can I do ?" qui n'aurait pas "fait tâche" sur le troisième album.
The Immigrant Song is on Led Zeppelin III but the "B" side (Hey, Hey, What Can I Do?) of this CD single is not on any of their albums - a crying shame because it is a lovely song which would have been perfect on Led Z. III. I first heard this song on a sampler cassette tape called New Age Of Atlantic, and it was the best song on there. I was so pleased to find this CD single and hear Hey, Hey, What Can I Do? again (The cassette tape is long gone).
