The Honeydrippers – Volume One (90220-1-B)
The Honeydrippers’ Volume One, catalog 90220-1-B, is a 1984 US vinyl mini-album in VG+ condition.
Formed around Robert Plant’s desire to step away from arena-rock expectations, the Honeydrippers brought pre-rock rhythm and blues, jump blues, and early rock ’n’ roll into the polished studio world of the mid-1980s. With musicians including Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Nile Rodgers, and Paul Shaffer contributing to the sessions, Volume One became far more than a nostalgia exercise: its swinging arrangements and Plant’s relaxed vocal approach reintroduced standards such as “Sea of Love” and “Rockin’ at Midnight” to a new pop audience. The project’s concise five-song format preserves the feel of an all-star after-hours session, and this VG+ copy is a clean, collectible example of Plant’s most distinctive post-Zeppelin detour.
