In mid 1966 Plant was offered a recording contract while gigging around Birmingham/England. He left for London, and later that year recorded these six songs with backup provided by studio musicians. Young Rascals tune, the second was co-written by Plant. Both were released as a single by the fictional group Listen in late 1966 and was a commercial flop. The remaining tracks were released as two Robert Plant solo singles, in March and September 1967, and again went nowhere. As Robert Plant says: "The only copies ever sold were the ones me mum bought." After garnering few sales Plant returned to Birmingham to re-form the Band of Joy with John Bonham, a springboard for what was to become Led Zeppelin.
