Unflinching in its representation of Page’s less savoury qualities – the book kicks-off at a shocking low point for the band before tracing back to the musician’s origins – music journalist Chris Salewicz has clearly put the work in.
Formed from countless interviews with Page himself - as well as other Led Zeppelin members, old girlfriends, tour managers, session musicians and many more who crossed paths with the guitarist - the compiling of the conversations paints an insightful picture of what transformed the ‘jumped-up working-class’ boy from Surrey into one of rock’s most important figures. Deliriously entertaining, it covers everything from Page’s first guitar to his drug use and most intriguingly, his Crowley-ian dabbles with the occult.
