LED ZEPPELIN: MOTHERSHIP 1968-2022 Deluxe Anthology Edition is in shops and available to buy HERE.
AS THE DASHING PIONEERS OF HEAVY BLUES ROCK, LED ZEPPELIN’S CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC IS IMMEASURABLE. And thanks to tales of their extraordinary on-the-road excess, so is their contribution to rock mythology. To celebrate the group’s enduring power and mystique, MOJO has created a 260-page bookazine bringing together our out-of-print EARLY DAYS 1968-1973 and LATTER DAYS 1974-2019 specials in a single Deluxe Anthology Edition.
Printed on premium quality paper, and with heavy card covers, this must-have omnibus issue sees MOJO’s writers take a deep dive into Led Zep’s story, unfolding its myriad twists and turns with unrivalled knowledge and passion. We chart the beginnings of their journey in Swinging London, when gifted session guitarist Jimmy Page joined mid-’60s hitmakers The Yardbirds, and detail the formation of the classic Led Zep line-up of Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham in 1968. We put their wild and euphoric tours of America in the early ’70s under the microscope, and detail how the group’s first four albums rewrote the rules of rock music and transformed Led Zep into rock deities.
After global acclaim, and the peerless Physical Graffiti album, we reveal how the group and its infamous manager Peter Grant entered a dark period marred by drugs and violence in the late ’70s, and why the tragic death of John Bonham in 1980 spelled the end of the group – to be revived only for Live Aid in 1985 and a momentous one-off reunion in 2007.
Filled with in-depth features and exclusive interviews, and illustrated with dozens of rare and iconic images, LED ZEPPELIN: MOTHERSHIP 1968-2022 is an essential purchase for every music fan and the perfect gift for the festive season.
