When the Levee Breaks, that Page and Plant stole directly (and I say stole since they didn't give any credit other than themselves),

Well I don't know about the vinyl, but in my booklet that came with my CD of LZ4, "When the Levee Breaks" is credited to "Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham & Memphis Minnie."

"Stole" is a very strong word when you're talking about blues, a genre in which an awful lot of borrowing and moving back and forth takes place. And in this case it's simply wrong.
