LED ZEPPELIN – TAPES OF PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD INTERVIEW WITH MANAGER PETER GRANT BEING SOLD AT AUCTION
A collection of three original cassette recordings, which total 3 hours and 19 minutes, consisting of interviews between Peter Grant, former manager of Led Zeppelin, and Ray Coleman, former editor of Melody Maker, are heading to auction via TracksAuctions.com.
The interviews were conducted in November 1988 at Peter Grant’s home in Sussex. They were carried out for a book that Peter was intending to publish in conjunction with Ray but the project never reached fruition, the interviews have remained unpublished to this day. They gave a fascinating insight into Peter Grant’s introduction into the music business: from his employment as a door man at the 2is Coffee Club in London, to his acting career in various films in the late 1950s and then on to working for Don Arden (“…who owes me 1800 quid to this day!”) and finally through to his time with the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin.
