Led Zeppelin are sharing an update on their upcoming book, “Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin”, due this fall as part of the band’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.
“Work in progress,” says the band alongside “a trial production test of a selection of photographs from the book.”
The pre-production “test proof” (see below) presents various images of the group, including a mix of individual shots and live action photos from various tours through the years.
“Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin” is billed as the first and only official illustrated book to be produced in collaboration with the members of the band.
“Work on the official book ‘Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin’ is almost complete,” said the group recently. “The images have been carefully selected and annotated throughout by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones.
“Celebrating 50 years since the band's formation, it covers the group’s unparalleled musical career and features photographs of Led Zeppelin on and offstage from their very first moments together. This definitive 400-page volume includes previously unpublished photos, artwork from the Led Zeppelin archives and contributions from photographers around the world.
“There will be regular updates and sneak previews showing the work in progress. Stay tuned”
Led Zeppelin will launch their 50th anniversary with the reissue of multiple remastered editions of the soundtrack to the concert film, “The Song Remains The Same.”
Due September 7, the project arrives 50 years to the date of the legendary band’s first live show – as The New Yardbirds – at the Gladsaxe Teen Club in Gladsaxe, Denmark in 1968.
Led Zeppelin’s July 1973 performances at New York's Madison Square Garden were recorded for the concert film and its companion soundtrack album, which were issued together in 1976.
Featuring newly-remastered audio supervised by Jimmy Page, “The Song Remains The Same” soundtrack will be available via Super Deluxe Boxed Set, CD, vinyl, digital versions, plus the full album’s debut release in Hi-Res 5.1 surround sound on Blu-ray.
