In Unexpected Places

What do "Mellow Yellow" and "You Really Got Me" have in common? Correct, Jimmy Page played guitar on both (well, the Kinks deny the second allegation - let's just say it's a strong possibility). I had known about the Yardbirds stint (used to have a bootleg of a NY concert that was all Page), but not that he had been a "teenage guitar prodigy" or that he had been one of the most-employed studio musicians in the British pop music scene of the early 60s.

Fresh Air has the story (2nd from the bottom).
