It's got some of its facts wrong, but, all in all, a pleasant history of the instrument.

I was always told that JPJ of Led Zep did not use a Rhodes. Did he actually us one on No Quarter?
1960 Wurlitzer model 700 EP
1968 Gibson G101 Combo organ

Definitely are a few inaccurate statements in there. As far as I've read/been told, JPJ used a Hohner Electra Piano on the recording, but toured with a Rhodes.
