Genesis Publications is thrilled to announce the release of a deluxe poster set, including a poster advertising the highly acclaimed photographic autobiography of rock legend Jimmy Page. This unique collection celebrates the visual history and extraordinary career of one of the world’s most iconic guitarists. With this deluxe set, fans can immerse themselves in the visual and written narrative of Jimmy Page’s life and career.
The Photographic Autobiography
A Visual Journey Through an Iconic Career
Jimmy Page’s photographic autobiography, released by Genesis Publications, is a meticulously curated visual history of the legendary guitarist’s life. Page himself selected all 650 photographs featured in the book, ensuring that each image represents significant milestones and moments from his storied career. Among these rare and previously unseen photographs are images of Led Zeppelin performing an impromptu gig in a nightclub in Jersey and double-exposure shots of Page and Brian Jones by Ian Stewart.
“It was important to include every milestone along the way, so people have got a real testament of the times,” says Jimmy Page. This dedication to thoroughness is evident in the extensive selection process, which involved combing through thousands of photographs from various sources, including his personal collection.
A Unique Cover and Personal Touch
The cover of the book features one of Jimmy Page’s favorite portrait shots, a 1977 passport photo taken by Neal Preston on board Led Zeppelin’s private tour plane. This personal touch adds to the book’s authenticity and intimate feel.
The Manuscript
Captions and Personal Insights
For the first time, Jimmy Page has officially documented his career in his own words. The manuscript includes extended captions that describe and contextualize pivotal moments and events throughout his life. These captions, combined with the photographs, provide a comprehensive and engaging narrative of Page’s journey as a musician and artist.
“The increasing volume of recording dates began to demand a decision: was I a better artist or a better musician? It became an easy decision,” reflects Jimmy Page, offering readers a glimpse into the decisions that shaped his career.
Historical Documentation
The book also features additional elements such as visas, photos, and stamps from Jimmy Page’s passports, further enriching the historical context and authenticity of this limited edition work. It stands as a definitive visual record of a remarkable life in music.
