*edit 02/04/2012* Well this seems to be doing rather well for my standards. About to hit 20k plays on Soundcloud, being played on various radio stations across the planet, nice words from someone very connected with 'A Beatle'... I'm quite amazed, really. I know most people are just hitting embeds and widgets and things, and not seeing the rest of the stuff that my 10 years of fiddling about with music has produced, so if you're reading this I'd suggest you might just want to have a look around the rest of this blog. There's an awful lot of stuff here, and you might like some of it. Honestly! Thanks to everyone who's played, listened, liked and shared this creation - it's really, really appreciated. Right, back to the action...
So after saying I don't 'do bootlegs' anymore, I gone and done another one. I'm not setting out to make a habit of this, it's just that some nice source material came my way and I had a couple of evenings to kill. I don't think I need to say much else about this, really... it's all in the title and the artwork. Suffice to say, I'm of the opinion that if anyone else had attempted this, it would have been a disaster. As it is, I think it's come out pretty jolly well.
Could this be the one which finally gets me appreciated and blogged about with 25,000 plays and a mention in Uncut/Mojo/Old Fart Rocker Monthly and all that sort of stuff, after 10 long years of trying? Yeah, dream on... Anyway, find a decent stereo system to play this on, and turn the volume control up all the bloody way. Please let me know in some way if it tickles your rock buds.
*edit* - Soundcloud download limit busted (that doesn't happen very often around here), so the best I can offer is a Mediafire link for a 320k mp3 version: DOWNLOAD

This makes me want a whole album of Zep and White Album mashes...
To put it politely, this is the top fucking bollocks!
Nice one!
We downloaded it and played it three times the past week on the radio. It sounds awesome on the FM dial! Kudos!

Thanks, chaps! :)
Excellent!
Thanks!
That may be the coolest thing I've listened to in 20 years.
Unbelievable! Well done!
The Beatles wish they were Led Zeppelin.
Let the flames begin. :)...
Hope you don't mind, but:

I don't mind at all - keeps the YT crowd happy until I manage to finish a 'proper' video for it, which is taking some time! Thanks!
Incredible. Great job! I'm so glad the Beatle stems are being put to good use. Now only if we had some Zep stems...
This is extremely clever, thanks so much for sharing this.
Effing awesome, dyood!
Toppermost of the poppermost, as they used to say. This is just so great.
You have achieved the impossible. You've made The Beatles AND Led Zeppelin better!!!!
Ah, the mighty arms of Atlas, music lovers! If only Fluff had lived to hear this. Magnificent!
PS John Holmes put this out on 6Music on Saturday afternoon - return to your decks and prepare to be slightly notorious.
As I started my truck to leave work at 2 this morning, this song started. I was entranced. Thank you for what you do and thank you to KUT and Rick Daddy in Austin, Texas for sharing this with the world.
It's a pleasure, Mr. Walker, glad you liked it! Thanks to everyone else for the comments too, they really do mean a lot! / ben sH
Terrific Stuff - winging its way around the Zep fan community!!
Extraordinary!
Social Network Radio want to put this on the air email us at socialnetworkradiostaion@gmail.com so we can add it to our stations
Just got a call from my husband he heard this on the radio and he said you have to find this for me :) !! Glad to have found you...we are rockin' it in Arizona!!! Will share with many friends!!
I found out about this via a Rob Michael share on Google+. The songs work well together, and are more similar than they would initially appear.
Love it! and I detest most mashups. This was amazing. Did justice to both songs. Bonham drumming for the Beatles!
Love it - been listening to your work since about 2004, gets my vote as one of the best (albeit not the most complex) tracks.
Outstanding piece of musical art! Best mashup I've heard ever! Keep doing what you do so well!
Love it! Even though I hate mashups! Maybe, the best mash-up ever!
Heard this on Sirius this weekend. Found out it was you, of long-ago Boom Selection days! This mix is so on point, not a single missed opportunity. Well done, thank you!
how about a round of applause for soundhog? many thanks. :)
Someone posted this to FB, where I first listened to it. Congratulations on a brilliant mashup and thank you for sharing this with us. Well done!
Fantastic, thank you. Incidentally McCartney wrote Helter Skelter in response to the Who's I Can See for Miles - how about a Who/R.E.M mashup? Just a thought... but in the meantime, thanks so much I've played this several times :-)
Anyone else think that Springsteen ripped off the Beach Boys Wild Honey for We Take Care of Our Own?
You are a genius! It just works so well.
Howard Stern mentioned and played your Led Zep / Beatler Helter Skelter song on his Sirius satellite raido show in American on Jan 7th, 2013. He said he loved it !!!! That's how I found you last night and your stuff is TERRIFIC, keep it up and thanks!
WOW!!!!
Great job! ;)
This song ended up on BWTB on Sirius XM and it was fucking awesome to hear.
I found your remix via Jimmy Page's official site...so you have his attention and he likes it! Congratulations .
