LED ZEPPELIN-THE BIOGRAPHY
Εκδότης Putnam , ISBN 9780399562426
Led Zeppelin are one of the most iconic British bands in history - and one of the most notoriously guarded. But in our November Book of the Month, conveniently also called Led Zeppelin, industry insider Bob Spitz gives the full measure of a group many consider to be the greatest rock band of all time.
Separating the not inconsiderable myth from the equally gargantuan reality, Led Zeppelin recalls how virtuosic 'sophisticates' Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones blended with the wilder, more forceful Robert Plant and John Bonham to take centre stage in an industry just beginning to slip out from the grip of the Beatles and the Stones. Since 1969 their albums have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide, and combined have spent more than a decade in the official album charts.
Drawing on years of research and deep insider access, Bob Spitz's account of Led Zeppelin's artistic journey is more than just a music biography. It is also the story of how the 60s became the 70s, how rock moved from the clubs to the stadiums, and the transmutation of innocence into decadence.
