this time does feature the blowing of whistles and the calypso percussion from Bonzo.That vibrant, good to be back together forte atmosphere of the Polar sessions is well in evidence on an early conjunct, legato mix of Hot Dog, in major key the humorous if somewhat expendable Page/Plant homophonic Out Door presto tempo, quadruple meter rockabilly verse and chorus hoedown. Jimmys guitar intro has a different texture to the official version, and Roberts vocal is an alternative performance.
