Yeah. He was quite prolific. A British magazine did a study of all popular music (from England, in the sixties) still played today, and calculated Jimmy Page's guitar is on a good percentage of it. Another great British session player from that period was Big Jim Sullivan. If it was country or jazz, then Jim would get the call. If it was rock or blues, then Pagey would get the gig. He quit when they booked him to play an elevator music session....

Here's the most psychedelic one in the article, from circa 1970, when Americans were temporarily allowed freedom to read favorable articles about LSD in the mass media.
