Description: More than two decades' worth of press coverage for the rock phenomenon Led Zeppelin is compiled in this meticulous collection by a noted Zeppelin expert. From their first concerts in Scandinavia to their tragic dissolution in 1980, the history of the disciplined and unprecedentedly mediagenic band is traced from the perspective of hundreds of newspapers, magazines, and music tabloids from around the world. A section on pre-Zeppelin Jimmy Page and appendixes with concerts listed by city, date, and country are included, along with a CD that features an exclusive interview with Jimmy Page.
Notes: Personal email from author: "The LZ Press Reports book cover is the same on the 2nd and 4th editions but the spine color is different. It's red on the 2nd and Yellow on the 4th. The 4th edition has many many factual mistakes and typos corrected and the concerts date list was revised and enlarged. Also many of the foreign language articles were rewritten to improve the grammar." ISBN 1894959175
