Jimmy Page is one of music’s greatest guitarists, innovators and legends. Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page is his official autobiography, a photographic essay he personally created to tell his story for the first time. Jimmy's own words, combined with his handpicked selection of over 600 photographs, make this book the definitive visual and historical record of a remarkable life.

"I’ve been asked on a number of occasions to do a written book and I thought of the other side of the coin. I thought it would be unique to have an autobiography in photographs, charting my whole musical journey." - Jimmy Page

Originally conceived as a limited edition of only 2,500 copies worldwide, the first printing of Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page sold out within weeks of release. In the spring of 2010, it became the fastest-selling book in Genesis Publications’ 40-year history. Now Jimmy Page and Genesis Publications announce a more accessible and affordable edition of the book, to be released this October 2014.

"I always like to do something different. If you’re inspired by an idea, really make something of that inspiration. That goes for music, as well as anything else – even putting a book together! To have a photographic autobiography is a totally different way of looking at things, but it does the job very well, and I think it will bring a lot of pleasure to people." - Jimmy Page

The first ever publication by a member of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page is the perfect purchase for guitar players and music lovers of any age.

 

 

Jimmy Page has ruled out any chance of Led Zeppelin playing together ever again. Page was hosting a playback of his remastered versions of Led Zeppelin IV and Houses Of The Holy at Olympic Studios in London when he confirmed the news.

Asked directly by NME if remastering the albums made him want to reform the band again, he said: "I don't think it looks as though that's a possibility or on the cards, so there's not much more I can say about that. I'm not going to give a detail-by-detail account of what one person says or another person says. All I can say is it doesn't look likely, does it?"

Page also confirmed that he is likely to form his own band and play live material right across his whole career, including his Zeppelin work, in the near future.

He told the Q&A; session: "If I was to play again it would be with musicians that would be... some of the names might be new to you. I haven't put them together yet but I'm going to do that next year. If I went out to play, I would play material that spanned everything from my recording career right back to my very, very early days with The Yardbirds. There would certainly be some new material in there as well."
