He remastered and repackaged everything to death is he now doing it with books? No. It’s a completely different book with different content. This one covers the span of JP’s career (Solo, Led Zeppelin, side projects, his amps, guitars, dragon suits, etc ... ) R😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveZ98 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I received this as a gift recently. Although I have a lot of Zep-related books, I don't spend much time reading them. And from what I heard about this when it was first announced, I figured this one would end up gathering dust after I looked through it once. I'm not a musician, so pictures of guitars don't do much for me, and while I'd be interested to see details of some of his stage outfits, I got a close up view of them when the Zep exhibit opened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. However, I really like this book. Although there are tons of pictures in it, for me the best part is the details he's provided about key events in his life. I know a lot of people want him to write an autobiography that provides lurid details of what it was like to be a rock star in the '70's, but I think the things he's written in this book and the other Genesis Publications taken together comprise his autobiography. It's just that the story he wants to tell about his life is that he's someone who became a musician because of his love for music, and it's the music and the things that go into making it that are the real story of his life. The fact he became famous seems very much secondary to him. Whether you agree with that or not, I'd definitely recommend picking up this book, especially now that it's available for such reasonable price (currently US$36 on Amazon.)

JTM Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I had decided not to buy this Anthology thinking that it's just a book of look at once photos and already known information plus I didn't want to spend close to £400 on another Genesis publication that is going to remain in it's felt dust bag tucked away out of sight in a cupboard too precious to have a place on the bookshelf gathering dust and being exposed to light that will eventually cause fading. Anyway, a couple of weeks or so ago I had an FB notification that the bog standard retail version was selling for £36, interesting I thought. My youngest son also had the same notification and immediately posted "That's Dad's Xmas present sorted", not realising I may also have had the notification too. Christmas morning comes, he hands me my weighty present and laugh and say "I know what this is". Surprised he asks "How", "You posted it on FB you Wally". I'm rather pleased he got it for me, it's quite a lot better than I had expected it to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strider Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Santa gave me the book for Christmas. I was amused that the cover featured a guitar and outfit I have never seen him play or wear...not even in a photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikelangelo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Okey, since it´s Jimmy´s birthday and all: didn´t get the anthology-book just yet, but Jimmy Page: The Definiteve Biography is on it´s way!!! Bit late (as amazon has delivery problems) but should arrive tomorrow!!! Now, if I only could get (back) my copy of Brussels Affair LP-boxset!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gcczep Posted Tuesday at 03:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:01 PM (edited) Bought my copy off Walmart. Price of $36 + tax. Same as Amazon just not have the hassle of being attached for Prime which I don't need... Plus no chance of damage which I've read with Amazon purchases. A couple of pics do appear on Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page but I think it's only a couple. Overall, completely different. Edited Tuesday at 03:01 PM by gcczep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
