Presenting the definitive edition of the rare demo recordings from Outrider, the only full-length solo studio album released by Jimmy Page in 1988. This collection features a significant upgrade in both content and audio fidelity.
Marking his first major solo project since the Death Wish II soundtrack following the disbandment of Led Zeppelin, these sessions showcase a formidable lineup. While Robert Plant’s contributions are not present at this demo stage, the recordings feature powerful vocals from John Miles and Chris Farlowe. Furthermore, the drums are handled by Jason Bonham, carrying on the legacy of his father, John Bonham.
Including the legendary cover "Train Kept A-Rollin'"—a staple since his Zeppelin days—this title is an essential listen that captures the raw creative process of a guitar icon.
