There's another boot called Show-Biz Blues (not the 2-disc official release on Receiver) where it's called "Phyllis" too.
Mac's version of the song that Led Zep re-titled "Whole Lotta Love" is actually titled "You Need Love", and was recorded at the 27 August 1968 BBC session (a year before Zep's version). From what I've read, Muddy Waters wrote the music and Willie Dixon later added the lyrics. Dixon had to sue Zeppelin to regain the writing credit on the song, and he won in court. I'm actually not that crazy about Mac's version of the song, but it sure is a lot more restrained than the Led Zep version!
