Led Zeppelin: The Ultimate Collection

Description

Sell-out tours in packed stadiums, records going platinum on pre-orders alone, three-hour long concerts night after night, girls, booze, drugs - Led Zeppelin did it all. Arguably the greatest rock act of all time, Led Zeppelin have sold over 300 million albums worldwide and created a unique sound that in the ranks of hard rock has never been equalled and will never be bettered. Led Zeppelin: The Ultimate Collection documents the fascinating journey of four talented young Englishmen on the path to rock 'n' roll glory, including the stories behind every record ever released. It is the greatest story of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll ever told, and the exclusive DVD, giant posters and stunning art prints take you there, plus reproduced ticket stubs, programmes, beautiful posters, superbly-designed contemporary flyers and other fascinating pieces of musical history in your hands.
