Led Zeppelin: Sound And Fury comes alive with a tap, swipe or pinch
and provides an unprecedented and comprehensive look into the world of
Led Zeppelin, one of rock’s most iconic bands. Through Preston’s lens
the reader experiences hundreds of photos (over 100 of which have never
been seen before), 80 contact sheets (all previously unpublished), audio
commentary from Preston, video and text interviews with people who
worked with the band, and even memorabilia and set lists for concerts
whose photos are featured in the book.
Created with Apple's digital book creation app, iBooks Author, this
Multi-Touch experience on iPad is unprecedented in its visual style and
layout, letting the reader explore never-before-seen shots of Led
Zeppelin and join them not only on stage, but also backstage. Led
Zeppelin: Sound And Fury contains an intro by
STEVIE NICKS and has
contributions from bands like
HEART, MASTODON and many more.
No photographer was granted the access to
Led Zeppelin that Neal
Preston had. Any photo of the band from the post-1973 era familiar to
fans is probably one of Preston’s images. Led Zeppelin: Sound And Fury
immerses you in the band’s inner circle with brilliant on-stage
performance photos, backstage candid shots, intimate images from onboard
the band’s two private planes, as well as snapshots from press
conferences, movie premieres, private band parties and more.
Neal Preston’s career began when he was still in high school and
continues today. His photographs have appeared in every conceivable
media outlet: on the covers and in the pages of world-class magazines
and newspapers, to books, television shows, feature films, Broadway show
programs and billboards, vinyl, CD and DVD packages; almost literally
everywhere. His client list is a virtual who's-who of rock royalty
including
The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Queen and
Fleetwood
Mac. His archive, a body of work spanning almost four decades, is
regarded as one of the music industry's most extensive and significant
photo collections. Preston’s archive was the key source of photographs
for VH1's acclaimed Behind the Music documentary series, providing over
one thousand still photos used in 50 episodes. In 1985, Preston was
chosen as one of the official photographers for Bob Geldof's Live Aid
concert at London's Wembley Stadium. In 1988, his association with Bruce
Springsteen helped land him the job as official tour photographer for
Amnesty International's landmark
''Conspiracy of Hope'' tour.
