This is really fascinating. This guy wrote, performed and recorded "Dazed and Confused" then Jimmy Page put out his version without attribution or (I presume) royalties. Extraordinary.
It's a great album BTW, thanks for sharing.
No, really:

After the case was settled, further recordings were attributed to Jake Holmes:
"November 2012's release of Celebration Day (The Led Zeppelin Reunion Show at the O2) credits "Dazed and Confused" as written by Jimmy Page (inspired by Jake Holmes)."
There is also this song, that I don't hear a whole lot about.
Ah, that's fantastic. Thanks heaps for that.
