'Baby Come On Home' is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin.
Overview
It was recorded during sessions for the band's debut album but remained unreleased until appearing on the 1993 compilation Boxed Set 2. The track stems from an old master reel labeled 'Yardbirds. 10 October 1968' (Led Zeppelin were called the 'New Yardbirds' during their first months of existence). The master tape went missing for a number of years and allegedly turned up in a renovation skip outside Olympic Studios in 1991.[1] It was mixed by Mike Fraser for a much belated release in 1993, as a promotional single to promote the Boxed Set 2.
The song was originally recorded under the title 'Tribute to Bert Berns', in honor of the American songwriter and producer who had died in December 1967.[2] On this track, guitarist Jimmy Page played a Leslie guitar and John Paul Jones played piano and a Hammond organ.[3]
'Baby Come On Home' was never performed live by Led Zeppelin or by any of its members.
