Take a deep dive into the innovative recording history of Led Zeppelin, in this newest addition to the fan-favorite All the Songs series. Fifty years after their first practice in a Soho basement, Led Zeppelin continues to fascinate new generations of listeners. While their legendary back-stage debauchery has been written about extensively in other books, All the Songs is all about the music, detailing the studio magic and inspiration that made all nine albums go platinum, including Led Zeppelin IV which was certified x23 platinum and has sold more than 37 million copies worldwide. Studio stories will include their productive time at Headley Grange in Wales, a poorly-heated former poorhouse where they recorded parts of Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. Andhow the first album was recorded in three weeks but their second took six months, done while the band was on a world tour. They carried the masters of the recording session in a steamer trunk wherever they went. Out of these chaotic sessions came the "Whole Lotta Love," which was finished in New York with Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer helping create the psychedelic middle part, as well as "The Lemon Song," which was cut live in the studio. Page worked feverishly with Kramer to mix the LP on a primitive 12-channel Altec board in a two-day span. Fans will also learn the genesis of their lyrics, the inspiration for their album covers, the instruments used, and the contributions of engineers such as Andy Johns, who helped create the iconic drum sound on "When the Levee Breaks" by recording Bonham at the bottom of a stairwell.

The Rolling Stones All the Songs Expanded Edition: The Story Behind Every Track

Every album and every song ever released by the Beatles - from "Please Please Me" (U.S. 1963) to "The Long and Winding Road" (U.S. 1970) - is dissected, discussed, and analyzed by two music historians in this lively, fully illustrated work. All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the Beatles and their music. This first-of-its-kind book draws upon decades of research, as music historians Margotin and Guesdon recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every song, the recording process, and the instruments used. Here, we learn that one of John Lennon's favorite guitars was a 1958 Rickenbacker 325 Capri, which he bought for £100 in 1960 in Hamburg, Germany. We also learn that "Love Me Do," recorded in Abbey Road Studios in September 1962, took 18 takes to get right, even though it was one of the first songs John and Paul ever wrote together. And the authors reveal that when the Beatles performed "I Want to Hold Your Hand" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, John's microphone wasn't turned on, so viewers heard only Paul singing. The hundreds of photographs throughout the book include rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of Beatles instruments, and engaging shots of the musicians in-studio. All the Songs is the must-have book for the any true Beatles fan.

94 chansons en 608 pages : Led Zeppelin, la totale replace sous les feux de l’actualité l’un des groupes majeurs de l’histoire du rock, dont les mélodies, les rythmes et les solos de guitare ont franchi les décennies pour inspirer et enchanter aujourd’hui autant qu’hier. 
Né à l’automne 1968 sur les braises ardentes des Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin a survolé le monde du rock durant toutes les années 1970. Plus encore, il a poursuivi le rêve de toute une génération après la séparation traumatisante des Beatles. Blues rock, folk rock, hard rock, rock prog… la musique du quartet a de multiples facettes. Elle a écrit l’avenir du rock’n’roll, tout en plongeant ses racines dans le blues et les ancestrales traditions des îles britanniques, comme la ballade. 
Les paroles, la musique, les arrangements des 94 chansons du groupe sont analysés en profondeur en s’appuyant pour l’essentiel sur les interviews des membres du groupe à l’époque où ont été enregistrés les albums, mais aussi sur les témoignages des producteurs et ingénieurs du son qui les ont accompagnés dans leur quête musicale.
