MOJO The Collectors’ Series: Led Zeppelin Essentials 50th Anniversary

Fifty years ago, in early 1975, Led Zeppelin released the album that many consider to be their masterpiece – Physical Graffiti. Epic in scope, breathtaking in ambition, over four sides of vinyl it cemented for ever the group’s reputation as the greatest rock act of the 1970s.

Physical Graffiti came midway through a career that began with the pioneering, heavy sounds of 1969’s Led Zeppelin I and ended with the tragic death of drummer John Bonham in 1980. During that time, the group created an extraordinary body of work – centred around their eight classic studio albums – that invites constant re-evaluation and fresh insights.

Which is where MOJO Essentials comes in. In this 132-page deluxe bookazine, our expert team of writers will guide you through Zep’s recorded output, album-by-album, track-by-track, while also taking a deep dive into their live LPs, films, compilations, rarities, solo ventures and books.

Off-stage, the band’s story overflowed with drama – on-the-road excess, creative disagreements, devastating losses – and exclusive interviews from MOJO’s archives with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones provide a fascinating inside perspective on these events.

Beautifully illustrated with sleeve artwork and rare and famous photographs, Led Zeppelin Essentials is a must-have for all music fans and a perfect gift for the festive season.
