Tracing the conception and evolution of a masterpiece, this chronicle examines the making of the fourth biggest rock album of all time, told by the musicians and engineers who produced it. Featuring interviews with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the guide reveals the details of the classic "Stairway to Heaven" and offers the only photo of the actual stairway that inspired it due to its unique acoustics. With a song-by-song analysis tracing the composition and performance of each track, as well as little-known facts and history—including concert-date listings, details on rare and promotional versions of the album, and the secrets of the mysterious symbols and cover artwork—this must-have for rock fans is the ultimate companion to the band's incomparable sound.
