Early Days (alternate mixes)
(Refined Masters)

1. BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU (take 8) 6.35
Plant sings as if he will never sing again. No overdubs or nice arrangements,
just the group trashing the hell out of the piece.

Similar to take 8.

3. YOU SHOOK ME (alternate mix) 7.49
A crude guitar sound (not produced or echoed at all), long harmonica wanderings,
Abruptly cut.
