LED ZEPPELIN: 25-Page JOHN BONHAM Feature Available For Free Download

September 25, 2007

With a LED ZEPPELIN reunion show scheduled for November and since this month (September) marks the 25th anniversary of John Bonham's death, the lads are popping up in newspapers, music magazines and celebrity web sites. That's why it should be no surprise that Enter Music Publishing's autumn 07 issue of TRAPS magazine — with a 25-page opus on the life of John Bonham — has sold so well. So well, in fact, that readers across the country quickly snapped up all available copies from Barnes & Noble, Borders and other outlets.

As a result, Enter Music Publishing, publishers of diverse, hip drum/percussion magazines worldwide, has made the John Bonham feature from this issue of TRAPS available via download. The 25-page Bonham opus can be downloaded from TRAPS' sister publication, DRUM! magazine, at www.drummagazine.com/bonham/.

"People are calling everyday because they can no longer find it on newsstands," said Phil Hood, publisher of TRAPS. Sales have been so strong, and our readership has supported us so much, that we decided to make the story available for those 'Bonzobeat' fanactics who can't find the issue," Hood continued.

As previously announced in the "TRAPS Covers It All" press release announcing the feature on Bonham, the piece was written by Chris Welch, a well-respected, former Melody Maker reporter. Welch covered Bonham during his early days with ZEPPELIN to his tragic demise. The Bonham story features previously unpublished material that has obviously caught the attention of drummers and ZEP enthusiasts. Divided into eight chapters, the Bonzo feature reflects the editorial talent of many writers, and Andy Doerschuk, editor of TRAPS.
