'Lansdowne Books continue to set new standards in music publishing and research… The book all devotees of early Zeppelin will surely want to own’ - Shindig
‘A forensic chronicle of their formative years, as they happened, allowing the reader to become immersed in their astonishing story in real time. I cannot recommend this book highly enough - for me it really is one of the best Led Zeppelin books ever assembled. It really is beyond all expectations. Utterly brilliant’ - Dave Lewis
The product of years of research, this enormous book contains the most detailed and accurate account yet of the pathway to Led Zeppelin’s formation and the events of their tumultuous first year.
Alongside it is a wealth of rare material concerning the members’ earlier careers, and reproductions of virtually every piece of press they received between getting together in August 1968 and the release of Led Zeppelin II in October 1969.
Bulging with barely seen archival information and imagery, and featuring a long introduction by the renowned music journalist Chris Welch – who knew them from the start, toured with them and visited them at home – it is simply essential for their many admirers.
Limited edition large-format hardback, quarter-bound in cloth, 348pp.
