While the price of some of the more common American mags have dropped in
recent years, the more rare ones, whether it be American, European,
or Japanese, continue to increase in value as their availability shrinks. I
would like to place a value on the different magazines listed here, but the
worth of a magazine really varies according to the persons selling and buying
them. A nice collection can be built with just a reasonable amount invested.
Beyond that, the fun truly begins....the hunt and the discovery! Hopefully
this guide will help you in knowing what is out there.
My main goal here is to list all the magazines, worldwide, that Led Zeppelin
appeared on the cover of between 1969 and 1980. To list EVERY magazine would be quite a daunting task, and perhaps impossible. Therefore, I have elected to
stick with the Vintage magazines, meaning the ones that appeared during
Zeppelin's illustrious career. The list of mags post-1980 is quite substantial. While most are worthy, there ARE a nice percentage that are more dedicated to the individual members' post-Zeppelin careers, and as such, are not pure "Zeppelin" magazines. It's possible that I may attempt a listing of post-80 mags in the future, if there seems to be any interest in the project.
If visitors see any magazines that I've overlooked (and there are sure to be
some) please e-mail me with the information so I can include it here. I will
be adding photos of some of these magazines in the near future.
NOTE: Previously, I had scans here of some of the really rare magazines. I've
deleted them to gain webspace for my photos and posters sections. They should
not be missed too much since I do list the cover subjects. I apologize to
those very few of you who actually care.
