==Overview==
==Overview==
The project originated when [[Atlantic Records]] president [[Ahmet Ertegün]] wanted to record an album of his favourite songs from the 1950s. Plant was chosen because Ertegün had seen his pick-up band [[the Honeydrippers]] performing 1950s standards. Included in the band were former [[The Yardbirds|Yardbirds]] [[guitar]]ists [[Jeff Beck]] and [[Jimmy Page]]—the latter was Plant's former band mate in [[Led Zeppelin]]. The EP was released without any credits bar Nugetre & The Fabulous Brill Brothers on the reverse sleeve. "[[Sea of Love]]" became Plant's biggest-selling single.

The album was re-released in a remastered edition in 2007 as part of a Robert Plant [[remaster]] series, with a live version of "Rockin' at Midnight" released as its bonus track. Plant and Ertegün discussed the possibility of doing a new Honeydrippers album, but with the latter’s death December 2006, the plan was shelved permanently.

The Honeydrippers: Volume One is an EP released on 12 November 1984, by a musical project organised by rock singer Robert Plant.

Overview

The project originated when Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun wanted to record an album of his favourite songs from the 1950s. Plant was chosen because Ertegun had seen his pick-up band the Honeydrippers performing 1950s standards. Included in the band were former Yardbirds guitarists Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page—the latter was Plant's former band mate in Led Zeppelin. The EP was released without any credits bar Nugetre & the Fabulous Brill Brothers on the reverse sleeve. 'Sea of Love' became Plant's biggest-selling single.

The album was re-released in a remastered edition in 2007 as part of a Robert Plant remaster series, with a live version of 'Rockin' at Midnight' released as its bonus track. Plant and Ertegun discussed the possibility of doing a new Honeydrippers album, but with the latter’s death December 2006, the plan was shelved permanently.
