About the Author
Отрывок из книги
Led Zeppelin’s music has been a passion for most of my life. While conducting research for my book, Sonic Boom: The Impact of Led Zeppelin. Volume 1 – Break & Enter, I happened to meet a wonderful source of information at the Boston Public Library.
Pat Seward wasn’t a librarian, but a kind hearted, generous and free-spirited patron whose second home was the library’s microfiche department where we met. She spoke to me at great length about the club scene in Boston during the late 1960s. An art history major at the time, she was right into the music with her fellow college students.

Please note that excerpts from this second interview have already appeared in the November 2007 issue of our online newsletter, the Enzepplozine. But the entire interview has never before been published. So, even if you read that issue of the Enzepplozine I just mentioned, you still won’t have read all the details you’re about to discover in this e-book.
Interviews 3 through 6 have never been made public before in ANY form. There’s plenty of brand-new information here to please and delight any Led Zeppelin fan or music scholar.
