And while he respects modern studio techniques, he insists the most important thing for him is capturing the performance rather than chasing perfection.

Asked if he'd have done anything differently with Led Zep's recording methods if he'd had today's technology available, Page tells UCR: "My approach would still be to capture the performance of an artist. That's what all of this stuff is - the Led Zeppelin music and the music of the 60s and 70s of other artists - it's capturing the essence of why you're doing that particular track, the character of that track and the collective performance of the musicians and of their overdubs.

"In those days, if you were doing vocal overdubs, you'd go for it and you might maybe make it up with a couple of drop-ins, but that's it. You go for the full performance, not compiling it word by word. So, what it is is that you had to be direct, you had to make your mind up and be positive and deliver."
