Rock Legends at Rockfield (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781915279040)

A history of the legendary music studio behind Queen, Oasis, and more--updated with new chapters about the last twenty years.

Rockfield is a recording studio that lives up to its name. Over the past fifty years, this rural Monmouthshire locale has played host to a bevy of British musical legends--from Robert Plant, Queen, and Black Sabbath to Oasis, the Stone Roses, Mothead to present day acts like Thunder and The Dirty Youth. A rich narrative history packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, updated since its original 2007 release, Rock Legends at Rockfield features interviews with legendary artists who tell the bizarre tales behind modern classics like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Oasis's "Live Forever." Along the way, Jeff Collins examines how these dilapidated farm buildings and solid-stone studios became one of the most famous brands in recording history. Not to be missed by any fan of British music or classic rock scholar, Rock Legends at Rockfield is an uproarious and eminently readable look at one of the most legendary studios in the world.
