The book was huge, and the photos brought back memories of a fun time!
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023
I don't know if Jimmy Page has seen the movie, but I'm certain that he would understand the value of that line.
It seems that one of the chief tenets of the Led Zeppelin legacy is that the surviving members have remained coy about the group's near mythic history. It isn't so much about what they said, it's what they didn't say. The gaps that they seemed to have left appear to be intentional. After all, there's no such thing as bad publicity right? And therein lies the mystery which seems to be central to the band's story. As to Page himself, he has never passed comment on any of the many tales which surrounded the band. He has referred to one of the more infamous incidents only obliquely by saying, "Would anyone still be interested in the mud shark if the music hadn't been there?" Which sums up Page's whole outlook really. For Jimmy Page, the music will be the thing, now and forever more.
It has been the literary rage of late for the great rockers to publish their memoirs. The list is a long and distinguished one: Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Neil Young and Rod Stewart have all produced books in the last decade. No doubt that the members of Led Zeppelin, have been similarly approached by publishers and were likely spurned with the exception of Page himself.
Jimmy Page has not not written so much a memoir but instead, has compiled what amounts to a private photo album. Undoubtedly he decided to produce a book on his terms and it's to his credit that it's an entirely different beast altogether.
"Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page," is a massive assembling of photos which span his career; from his youth to his years as one of the hottest session guitarists of his day, his time in the Yardbirds is covered more thoroughly than even I expected. The Led Zeppelin years are covered deeply and are the heart of the book. His post Zeppelin career is also included. This book functions as Page's memoir. There are no groupie stories or tales of excess here. Page's minimal use of commentary adds to the legend. Still it's a fascinating glimpse of Jimmy Page doing heat he wants to be best known for, which is as a musician. This is about as close as we are likely to get to the man himself short of seeing him in concert.
Originally published as a signed, 2500 copy limited edition in 2010, "Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page," is his carefully selected and highly distilled portrait and it's the way he wants us to remember him.
The book is unsurprisingly short on commentary aside from locations and dates. But the pics are a Jimmy Page fan's dream and more than makes up visually for what Page doesn't say verbally.
The book sold out almost immediately in its original edition, despite its high price tag. It's been a highly sought after item for high end collectors. However, it drew criticism from fans who also wanted a copy, but could not afford one.
Now, it's available in a much more affordable edition. My copy has a split in the spine, so I think the publisher could have done a better job. But then the book was printed in China so no surprises there.
Still, the book is filled with images of Jimmy Page in full guitar hero glory. Fans will lose themselves for hours (such as I have) with all the pics contained within (I also suggest that you have some Zeppelin blasting while perusing this tome).
True, it doesn't lift the veil off the Led Zeppelin myth (would the LZ story be as interesting if we knew all the details? I don't think so), but it does give us a view of one of Rock's most iconic figures as he wants us to which is a trick in itself and in the end, is pretty awesome.
