LIMITED EDITION NUMBERED BOOK - MARTIN POPPOFF
PERSONALLY SIGNED TO YOU BY THE AUTHOR! - FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE
The first book in this great limited edition series, almost like an academic journal, the very first of a series, the intention being a little library of similar books covering a pretty big chunk of metal history.
It's also limited to 1,000 copies, signed, and most importantly, it's numbered.
This is written for the serious students & die hards of old vintage classic hard rock.
The Concept:
Detailed examination of early hard rock albums, many lost to the sands of time, some merely in need of a celebratory re-visit. Primarily through the use of new, exhaustive interviews with the band members who were there - the focus being on one classic album - Martin meticulously pieces together the complete story of each album, lending his respected critical eye to the record, massaging in bucket loads of trivia previously unpublished. The end result is a collection of essays that are variously surprising, funny, revealing, and scholarly. Above all, it is the author's hope that the enclosed "love letters to ancient metal" enrich the serious musicologist's enjoyment of each record so reverently examined.
