Led Zeppelin Vinyl: The Essential Collection

Als Fan der Gruppe ``Led Zeppelin`` brauch ich genau das Buch ! All die diese vielen FOTOS der LP Cover`s Klasse !

Una bellissima raccolta di Cover di Bootleg della più grande Rock band esistita !

ページをめくると懐かしいブートの数々 アールズコート、デストロイヤー、TMOQのイラストなどなど 西新宿キニーの店頭で手に取って悩んだ頃を思い出す 堅牢な造本装丁が素晴らしいです

Absolutely amazing treasure trove of graphic design work related to Led Zeppelin records both legit and otherwise. Ross Halfin has done a magnificent job recording all of these artefacts from his own collection. Well designed book, appropriate 12” x 12” page size, great value for money, great print quality and binding.

I love this book. I have dozens of volumes that focus on album cover art; this is a welcome addition. The real gems here are the bootleg covers, although that’s also where I have to level a few small criticisms. I know that decisions had to be made because a full accounting of all the bootleg covers would run several volumes this size. I would have liked to have seen some high resolution pictures of “The Final Option” set (as it’s 70 LPs and is, by far, the most amazing set in bootleg history) and at least a few examples of the Box Top titles that had glossy photograph covers. What is included, however, is absolutely spectacular. Ever wonder what the Turkish Led Zeppelin II looks like in mint condition? It’s in here. As are pretty much all the promos and other interesting international pressings. There are also some examples of graphic printed labels and vinyl colour variants. The discography listing at the end is nice, but superfluous. All of that information is available on Discogs and is updated frequently as new information comes to light. That being said, this is an amazing book and is an absolute must for any fan of Zeppelin, any vinyl collectors and any graphic design enthusiasts. This is a bargain at twice the price. Buy it!
