Quick Facts Outrider, Studio album by Jimmy Page ...

This was originally intended to be a two album release. However, during the early recording stages of this album, Page's house was broken into and amongst the items stolen were the demo tapes which had been recorded up to that point.[2] Page did not record any demos prior to recording the album itself.[3]

Reception

The album reached No. 26 on the Billboard 200 chart,[10] also peaking at No. 27 on the UK Album Chart.[11]

Years later, Jimmy Page reflected on the album in rather positive terms:

Outrider's all right. It's demo-like compared with those overproduced albums that came out at the time. It didn't do very well—doesn't matter—but I did tour. I was playing music on that tour going right back to The Yardbirds. Jason [Bonham] was the drummer on that tour.[12]
