Extract from groupie Catherine James’ book: “Dandelion; memoir of a free spirit.” ♡

“I had plenty of handsome suitors, but no one really had my heart until I encountered the ethereal Jimmy Page…there were no real ways to describe his seductive allure and painful charm. It wasn’t just his lithe, elegant, rock-and-roll mien, or his pre raphaelite angelic face and soft long curls. He had an indescribable smouldering look in his eyes, like he had a secret he might share with you one day. When he kissed he inhaled my breath like he was savouring my soul. I’d never felt anything quite as dark or sensuous as James Patrick Page. He captivated me with stories of the English countryside and his lone manor in Pangbourne surrounded by a majestic moat. He always made me feel like we were somewhere off in the mist of Avalon.”

Mick was passionate about architecture and would tell tales, historic accounts of the aged dwellings and quaint carriage houses. He knew all the history, when the homes were built and what famous person or artists had lived in them.

‘I don’t know why Mick did that because he told me at the time that Karis was his child,’ Jagger’s ex-girlfriend Catherine James told me.

‘I think the problem was that Marsha wanted something from him — i.e. money. At the beginning, she had told him she would deal with everything to do with the baby herself.

She’d said: “Don’t worry about this. I’m going to care of it.” And then she was suing him. I think that put Mick off, to say the least.

This, I don't think, requires any commentary 🤬

At last, he said it: “Why don't you come to England with me?”

You'd think that Catherine James would have jumped at the opportunity — instead, her life had changed, and now she was raising her son in the countryside. Furthermore, where would have she stayed? How would have Charlotte reacted? Was Page acting that way because he was tired of that woman? Or was it just the classic behaviour of a rockstar?

In any case, as Catherine thought to herself, she could only turn down the offer. But she gladly agreed to accompany him to Los Angeles, where Led Zeppelin were to perform on June 25. “The concerts were incredible. However, after that intoxicating week of rock and romantic sex, I couldn't wait to come back to my lovely home, far away from all the glitter and glamour of Hollywood.”
