Robert Plant Buys Led Zeppelin Bootlegs

Contact Music reports:
LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT loves buying bootleg copies of his band's work - but refuses to pay full price for the records.
The rocker loves finding shops selling the illegal copies reminding him of the past, but Plant ensures he gets the one-off recordings for half-price because he threatens the sellers with the wrath of unforgiving bandmember Jimmy Page.
He says, "(There are shops on London's West End) selling Led Zeppelin bootlegs on vinyl which are very nice too. I brought two copies of the Paris Theatre show, from London in 1972.
"Well, they looked a bit sheepish. When they tried to charge me full price I said , 'Don't do that or I'm gonna send Jimmy Page round?'"
