December 17, 2005

A LED ZEPPELIN book, entitled "Led Zeppelin: 1968-1980" (view cover here),by Keith Shadwick, was published in paperback last month by Backbeat Books. A book description follows:

"LED ZEPPELIN was the biggest band of the 1970s and a key contributor to the history of rock. Though the group disbanded after the 1980 death of drummer John Bonham, its stature among fans and its influence on musicians has continued to grow. Despite the band's prominence, no book has fully explored this beloved band's incredible musical legacy — until now. 'Led Zeppelin: 1968-1980' is a detailed and insightful look at the how, where, and why of LED ZEPPELIN's greatness. The band is examined within the historical context of the 1960s and '70s. Also examined are the musical and cultural events during all stages of each member's career, providing fascinating details about how the band created its revolutionary music."
