book comes alive with a tap, swipe or pinch and provides an

one of rock's most iconic bands. Through Preston's lens the reader
experiences hundreds of photos (over 100 of whichhave
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unpublished), audio commentary from Preston, video and text interviews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 My Chemical Romance, 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 ''Human Rights Now!'' tour.
