Southbound Piano (South Bound Saurez) - Led Zeppelin (Early Rough Mix)

This is an in-progress mix of South Bound Saurez, from the recording sessions at Polar Studios in the autumn of 1978. This version of the song obviously predates the rough mix heard on the 2015 Deluxe Edition. The piano track is completely different, being some electric honky-tonk style keyboard here. I think it gives the whole song a completely different feel. Also the vocal overdubs are somewhat crudely cut, and the guitar solo is yet to be dubbed in. The track also has no fade out.
Unfortunately, the drums and guitar are pretty bassy and buried in the mix, but that's an understandable byproduct of an early rough mix, which clearly saw a lot of work done after this point in the recording process.

Special thanks to Glyn from The Dogs of Doom for the new tape transfer, making this and much more in the future possible.
