P, not sure if Led Zep ever 'officially' released singles as such but there's an awful lot of 45s by that group available - Black Dog, Rock n' Roll, Communication Breakdown, Whole lotta love..those Japanese Zep singles are always for sale on e-bay! |

I have to admit that I thought Led Zeppelin had never realeased a single. Just goes to show, once again, what a mine of information is found on this site.

Here's abit of info on Stairway to Heaven A few attempts at a straightforward cover have been made over the years, notably by glam metal band Great White. The supergroup Far Corporation was the first act to chart with a single release of the song, barely making the charts in the U.S., while becoming a top-10 hit in the UK in October 1985. Tiny Tim has a recorded version of the song, on his album Girl, where he is accompanied by the band Brave Combo, and it is played very jazzy and lounge, which is one of three times the song will be played as a lounge song. Frank Zappa recorded an original version of the song during his 1988 world tour, and it appeared on the 1991 live album The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life. In 1993, the band Leningrad Cowboys collaborated with the Red Army Choir to perform a cover of the song.[9] Singer Dolly Parton recorded a country-bluegrass version on her 2002 album Halos & Horns. Pop singer and conservative Pat Boone chose it to close out his 1997 album of heavy metal covers In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy. A cover by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, which includes only the first three verses of the song, begins with a straightforward rendition, and then kicks into an energetic pop 'punk' style. This cover got them booed off stage while performing during a 2006 Pittsburgh Pirates game.[10] Native American singer Jana recorded a electronic cover of Stairway to Heaven which won the Native American Music Award (Nammy) for Best Song in 2002. The London Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Peter Scholes, recorded an instrumental version of the song on the album Kashmir: The Symphonic Led Zeppelin. Jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan recorded an instrumental cover of Stairway to Heaven where he simultaneously played two independent parts on one guitar with no overdubs. Rodrigo y Gabriela recently recorded an instrumental cover of Stairway to Heaven for their self-titled album in 2006. An instrumental version has also appeared on the bluegrass album "Pickin' on Zeppelin: A Tribute". Many other covers are ironic or intentionally humorous, notably Dread Zeppelin's reggae/Elvis-inspired version, Pat Boone's and Richard Cheese's lounge takes, and Rolf Harris's didgeridoo-and-wobble board interpretation (which reached number 7 in the UK charts in 1993). Rolf Harris's version was one of 25 different versions of the song that were performed live by guest stars on the early 1990s Australian chat show The Money or the Gun - each being a unique version of the song in the usually idiosyncratic style of performance of each guest star, following which the best 25 performances of the song were released on video tape for posterity (Rolf Harris' version would appear to be the only version that people are aware of). A compilation of these versions, titled Stairways to Heaven, was put out on the Atlantic label, featuring versions of the song by The Australian Doors Show, The Beatnix, John Paul Young, Kate Ceberano, Leonard Teale, Sandra Hahn and Michael Turkic (Grand Opera), The Ministry of Fun, Neil Pepper, Pardon Me Boys, Robyne Dunn, The Rock Lobsters, Rolf Harris, Vegimite Reggae and others. Harris is said to have received death threats from fans of the song for his version of this iconic rock anthem. The Foo Fighters's lead singer Dave Grohl also performed a humorous version of the song on The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn, where he pretended to forget the lyrics (Grohl is an avid Led Zeppelin fan and has numerous tattoos representing the band across his body) and proceeded to improvise the electric guitar solo vocally. A novelty song featuring the music and arrangement of the song combined with the lyrics to the "Theme from Gilligan's Island" (which has a similar chord progression)[citation needed] was recorded by the San Francisco band Little Roger and the Goosebumps and often featured on the Dr. Demento radio program. Singer Robert Plant has described this as his favorite cover "version" of the song.[ |

Cheers Donal - you're probably right. Saw your earlier post but just thought it would be just like Peter to fire a trick question at us! That Australin EP I was talking about is the one that Cecil has (and I know that Finno has a copy of it as well!). That single is selling for about €70 in online stores when I last checked. I got a slightly cheaper version of the single (€20 all the same) on E-bay - a jukebox single with Whole Lotta Love on the B side. |

It wasnt Zeppelin themselves was it? The single wasnt widely available admittedly but they did release an Australian EP with that on it. Not sure if it was first 'single' release of the song though! |

You have to like that kind of stuff and I am a singer so love Mary Black and really love Deloras Keane. She has a good hearty Irish voice. I must admit I am more of an easy listening type of person. Janis Ian is also just fantatic and I love to listen to a song where you can hear all the words. Nothing drives me more nuts than listening to a song and the singer is mumbling....grrrrrrr. If any of you like easy listening get Sarah McLachlan - Mirrorball - it's fantastic. |

Just driving along this morning and listening to Summerfly - Maura O'Connell off the Womens Heart CD. I just love that song not to mention Caledonia and The Island - Dolores Keane. It's a pretty good CD all round. Yesterday it was Janis Ian - Between the lines. Just a few days of easy listening needed. |
