This definitive volume illustrates in full color some of the rarest and most interesting vinyl releases, including one-of-a-kind rarities, bizarre regional variations, official albums and historic recordings of legendary concerts, sometimes featuring handmade artwork or colored vinyl. The vinyl, labels and covers have been documented by photographer Ross Halfin in superb detail and are annotated with details of their release. In addition, the book includes over forty pages of the most up-to-date comprehensive discography ever compiled on the band, with forensic detail. All known album and single vinyl releases from around the world are listed with catalogue numbers, release or recording dates and additional notes. A labor of love, Led Zeppelin Vinyl is a must-have for fans of the group and vinyl enthusiasts. It is a paean of praise to vinyl artwork and graphic design: The illustrations are explosive and surreal, playful, experimental and subversive, interpreting multiple artistic disciplines with flair and wit. Ross Halfin is one of the best-known photographers in the world and has been working in the music industry since 1977. He has a record collection almost as extensive as his photo archive. Review: Ross's Essential Collection... - I bought mine, on here, as a 2nd copy. That way, I can rummage through one & keep the other in decent shape, or... keep both in decent shape... Ross Halfin, who many x's is Jimmy's official photographer, put this together as a record of what he considers an essential collection of Led Zeppelin issued on vinyl, officially, or unofficially. He doesn't claim it to be definitive, nor everyone else's essential collection, which it is not. Is it a good collection & presentation? I think so, for the most part. Sure, there's always something that could have been done better, but, for the most part, as far as imaging & layout, this is the best collection I have seen. Could the images been labeled & attributed a little better throughout, sure, but, for many people interested in this sort of thing, the images are easy enough to figure out. Some of the criticisms of the chronology not being adhered to are valid. The overall quality of the publisher is done well, as the images are good, full color images. I have seen other collector guides, more comprehensive (& chronologically laid out), but, are typically done in a low quality trade sheet quality magazine. They are great, for what they are, & IMO, this should not be confused for trying to fill that purpose, but moreso to be an illustrated coffee table book. Ross notes that, he is himself a fan & collector, & that many, if not all, of these are from his personal collection. If you take it for what it is, it's a nice illustration that touches on the vast amount of Led Zeppelin pressings on vinyl, including unofficial live recordings, etc. It's nice to look through. Review: Led Zeppelin! REALLY Behind The Curtain In tons of LP & SINGLES COVERS! - Yep! Unseen, I didn't think twice about this one! The guy who authored and provided every domestic, import, and bootleg photographs is self-admittedly obsessed with Zep! There's more in this book than just high quality photos and blurbs. You'll just have to discover for yourself. For once, not just another coffee table book bio or autobiography...just a major nearly complete collection of pure Zep LP and singles covers (and an occasional acetate), you've probably never seen...the author admits there's surely more to be had, but his girlfriend encouraged him to stop..."what do you plan to do with all of these albums," she asked. "The kids, maybe?" Fat chance! This compendium is *our* gain with this outstanding book protected by a semi- clear, polystyrene cover. I received this book and a coffee table Pink Floyd book within three days! That meant a lot to me. The last book I ordered from desertcart took almost three weeks! The author of this Zep collector's book has a lot of promo and "regular" pressings from all over the world, but for some reason, he doesn't appear to have a copy of Led Zeppelin III, PROMO in very rare MONO! It came to me in a small collection. I wonder if he'd be willing to make a deal...I guess I doubt he'll ever part with anything he owns, but who knows what he might do? I don't set out to collect Zeppelin, but I know what Zep LP I *do* want! Awesome full-circle publication! This is the best book on Zep I've ever laid my eyes on or read. The bios pretty much say the same thing, many facts already known. This book is one-of-a-kind and unless someone else steps up with a crazy amount of LP's from another Super Group, preferably rock from the 1970's. I've got a few I'd love to own, but I'm not holding my breath...another five*****seller, too...great price, sealed and fast! P.S. Ross Halfin, if you just happen to have read this, for now, because of your book, "The Essential Collection" published by REEL ART PRESS (shameless plug for you guys), I am 60 years old and your biggest fan! At least, the biggest fan of your book! The ONLY asset that would have made it better would have been your personalized autograph! Seriously, we all have our obsessions!
