Hammer of the Gods (1985)

First released in 1985, updated in 1995 and again in 2005.

This is one of the best books I've read about Zep.

Some interesting photos are included.

The picture above was taken in 1974.

Jimmy Page is not visible but he's somewhere behind Robert Plant'

Fifteen year old Lori Maddox is seated at the far right next to Bonzo.

"This was typical of the kind of photograph

the band didn't want their wives to see"

Is Page mentioned in the Epstein files?

Percy Plant looks out over Hollywood and shouts "I am a Golden God!":

The author pulls no punches and I expect the band were less than pleased.

I recall remastering this many years ago.
Took it off the shelf to see if it was any good.
Not bad at all. A great addition to any Zep collection.

Metal at 40

BBC Radio 4

A broadcast looking back at the roots of Heavy Metal.

In 1968, Britain's first heavy metal bands were formed

transforming rock music around the world, forever.

Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple

each had their own unique sound, but shared an approach

that embraced "heavy" guitar riffs, powerful lead vocals

and thunderous percussion.

Since then, heavy metal has flourished and diversified

spawning sub-genres such as grindcore, thrash and death metal.

Horror film actor and writer Emily Booth

tells the story of the loudest, darkest form of rock

with the help of many of metal's leading musicians.

Compiled from the four shows

listed above this kinda recreates
a full set from 1969.
Each track has been remastered
(not by me)
A few flaws as you'd expect from
such old recordings but in general
it's good stuff.
