Reviews"Excellent! It's one of the very few guides that gets under the skin of the music and interprets what was in the mind of its creators." -- Bruce Dickinson, "It was refreshing to see Martin's enthusiasm for sort of the less popular Zeppelin albums. Cheery reading." -- John Paul Jones, "Very well researched. There are people in there I've never heard of and I'm supposed to be in the business. Good book, well thought out, well reviewed, very well researched, as I say. Anybody directed towards that kind of music would not do worse than to get a copy." -- Lemmy (Motorhead), ""It was refreshing to see Martin's enthusiasm for sort of the less popular Zeppelin albums. Cheery reading." --John Paul Jones, bass player, Led Zeppelin
