RIP JEFF BECK , probably had a lot to do with the early sound of Led Zeppelin as in the guitar vocal interplay , one repeating or echoing the other .Have got all of his early albums which are all worth a listen ,even the Beck Bogart and Appice album which didn`t go down well with the critics , but which i find a great listen .
