Classic Rock Magazine December 2007 Issue 113 Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page Rush 1456

Original Classic Rock Magazine – December 2007 – Issue 113, a Special Collector’s Edition heavily focused on Led Zeppelin and the band’s reunion-era resurgence.

This is a particularly strong issue for collectors of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, Rush, Joan Jett, Stephen Stills, Duff McKagan and classic rock memorabilia generally.

⭐ Led Zeppelin – Major Special Feature

This issue is built heavily around Led Zeppelin, with multiple dedicated features covering the band, their history, their reunion and the people behind their most iconic work.

The contents include:

• Led Zeppelin – “Celebration day!” coverage as reunion excitement begins
• Jimmy Page – major exclusive interview
• The Stars Talk Zep – other musicians discussing Led Zeppelin’s influence and legacy
• Live Through A Lens – feature on Led Zeppelin’s March 1969 Supershow appearance
• Rock’s Sonic Architect – feature on producer Jimmy Page / James Patrick Page-era production history
• Zacron – the artist behind the famous Led Zeppelin III cover artwork
• Phil Carson – recalling the band’s relationship with Atlantic Records

This is much more than a standard issue with a single Zeppelin article – it is essentially a Led Zeppelin-focused collector’s edition.

⭐ Jimmy Page

A large dedicated feature begins on page 36 and is described as the first part of an exclusive two-part interview with legendary guitarist Jimmy Page.

The magazine states that Page discusses the real reason behind Led Zeppelin’s comeback/reformation.

The contents page includes a large full-colour photograph of Jimmy Page playing guitar.

For a Jimmy Page or Led Zeppelin collector, this is one of the key selling points of the issue.

⭐ Rush

The issue also includes a feature titled:

“Rush vs Manics”

This covers the Manic Street Preachers meeting Rush, including the bands’ contrasting views and concert-related discussion.

A large image shows members of Rush alongside the Manics, with prominent Rush imagery including the famous band logo.

⭐ Joan Jett

Joan Jett receives a dedicated feature and photograph, with the contents quoting her:

“Black leather and metal buckles – that’s what I like.”

A strong additional feature for Joan Jett / The Runaways / female rock artist collectors.

⭐ Stephen Stills

A sizeable Stephen Stills feature looks back at his career and encounters with major musicians including:

• Jimi Hendrix
• Eric Clapton
• Bob Dylan
• Mick Jagger
• George Harrison
• Peter Frampton
• Frank Zappa

This gives the issue broader appeal to collectors of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and classic 1960s/1970s rock.

⭐ Duff McKagan

Duff McKagan appears in the star-review section, with the magazine referencing both:

• Guns N’ Roses
• Sex Pistols

Another desirable inclusion for collectors of hard rock and punk-related memorabilia.

⭐ Jason Bonham

Jason Bonham also appears in the issue, discussing The Song Remains The Same.

Given the magazine’s strong Zeppelin theme, his appearance adds further Led Zeppelin-related collector interest.
