The only concern for them both (Jagger and Wood) was that they did not want to break up The Faces.Īs I am sure that you are aware, I also read somewhere that Jimmy was also being considered to possibly replace Keith Richards in the Rolling Stones if Keith would have had to go to prison in Canada for his heroin bust in 1977. Additionally, Ronnie Wood has recounted Mick Jagger informing him that Mick Taylor had left the band almost and inquiring if he would be interested in joining immediately after it happened. However, Jimmy was already leading the biggest rock band in the world, and it was a stretch for them to suggest he would have ever walked away from his fully-realized artistic vision to join The Rolling Stones. After Taylor did the UK press published rumors that he may be replaced by Jimmy Page. Mick Taylor did not announce he was leaving The Rolling Stones until December 1974.

Later that same month Jimmy, Robert & Peter Grant drove to Richard Cole's home to celebrate signing the agreement for the upcoming Led Zeppelin tour to commence in January 1975. Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Rich Grech and drummer Rich Rowland recorded one track, 'Scarlet', during an all-night session at Olympic Studios on October 15, 1974. The early eighties sessions are much better documented. Although i checked numerous outtake and session compilations the track has not yet surfaced. At the time I read an article about a jam which resulted in a song called "Scarlet" (named after Jimmy's daughter). In 1974 there must have been some jam sessions. It is no secret Jimmy was sollicited (or he was solliciting himself) as follow up for Mick Taylor.
