Led Zeppelin Debut Did Not Impress Mick Jagger and George Harrison

(TeamRock Radio) Producer Glyn Johns says when he played Led Zeppelin's debut album to Mick Jagger and George Harrison in the late 60s, neither of them were interested.

The veteran music man has worked with a host of bands including Zeppelin, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, the Eagles, Eric Clapton and the Small Faces.

And in his upcoming memoir Sound Man: A Life Recording Hits With The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, and The Faces� he also reveals he hasn't come down from the high of hearing Zep in the studio for the first time, saying he was "completely blown away."

He tells Music Radar: "We were putting the Stones' Rock And Roll Circus together around the same time and I took an acetate of the album into a production meeting. I told them, 'This is going to be huge,' but Mick Jagger wasn't interested in hearing it. I dragged George Harrison into Olympic Studios to listen to it. He didn't get it, strangely. I still think that album is their best - it shook everything from the roots.

"They were an example of the kind of band that didn't need much input from me. I kept my jaw on the floor throughout those sessions, just floored by their natural talents." Read more here.
