From Loudersound.
Legendary rock photographer and record collector Ross Halfin is to publish a book documenting his extensive collection of Led Zeppelin vinyl.
The 180-page Led Zeppelin Vinyl: The Essential Collection contains more than 300 illustrations and will be published on April 21 by Reel Art Press. The book can be pre-ordered now, with all pre-orders signed by Halfin.
“Collecting vinyl is an addiction,” says Halfin. “Nothing beats listening to vinyl and pouring over the cover art and inner sleeve. The first album that I ever bought was Led Zeppelin II when I was 13. I have at least 40 different versions of it now.”
In a statement, the publishers say, “This definitive volume illustrates in full colour some of the rarest and most interesting vinyl releases, including one-of-a-kind rarities, bizarre regional variations, official albums and historic recordings of legendary concerts, sometimes featuring handmade artwork or coloured vinyl.”
In September, Halfin launched Pete Way by Ross Halfin, a tribute to the late UFO, Ozzy Osbourne and Waysted bassist Pete Way, who died earlier this year at the age of 69.
The book features many classic and unseen images shot by Halfin, as well as new interviews with UFO’s Phil Mogg, Andy Parker and Neil Carter, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Kirk Hammett, Geddy Lee, Phil Collen, Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Slash, Steve Harris, Rick Nielson, Michael Schenker, Phil Lewis and Gerry Laffy.

LED ZEPPELIN Led Zeppelin IV (Very rare 1971 UK third pressing 8-track LP on the plum & red label with the printing errors corrected by the careful placement of two stickers, returning the 'LED ZEPPELIN' name to the top of the label & over stickering the 'Executive Producer: Peter Grant' credit that Jimmy Page didn't approve of, as well as adding the missing 'Superhype' publishing credit, gatefold picture sleeve with inner lyric sleeve. The lyric inner is also flipback, unlike later issues. The classic gatefold picture sleeve shows light shelf/edgewear with a small area of paper loss and the inner has a common split along the bottom with few other signs of wear. The stickers on Side Two labels show signs of having possibly been re-glued in the past, while the vinyl is in Very Good condition with a few scuffs to show for its forty-plus years. A very nice copy of this incredibly rare first label edition in far better condition than normally seen!) #Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
