These are cool books. So far I've read two of them (about David Bowie's Low and My Bloody Valentines' Loveless), working now on Erik Davis' take on Zeppelin's nameless masterpiece.
These books are written by music obsessives for music obsessives. I'm in!
At the moment Erik Davis has me convinced that the reason Zeppelin's fourth album didn't have their name on it (only obscure magic symbols), was because Zeppelin didn't actually write the music in the grooves.
No, a deal dark had been done at Boleskin, the estate Page took over from the Black Magus Aleister Crowley. And you ask...
Who did write the music???
That's easy!
SATAN!
For definitive proof: Watch Jimmy Page use his magic wand on his Les Paul.
Daemonic!
